Downriggers (Dealer Installation)

These breakers provides power to both downriggers, if installed. The two breakers are rated at 20 amps each.

The wiring is routed to aft corners of the cockpit.

Engine Circuit Breakers

Circuit protection for the ignition switch and engine components is provided on the engine. Please refer to

the engine owner's manual for information on the circuit breakers installed on your engines.

BATTERY SWITCHES

There are three battery switches and two parallel switches to manage the 12-volt power distribution.

The Port Start switch controls the battery for the port engine. The Starboard Start switch controls the battery

for the starboard engine. Parallel switches connect the port and starboard engine batteries and the house battery

for emergency starting if one of the engine batteries is dead or low.

The Winch switch provides power to the windlass. The House switch provides power to the house circuits on

the boat.

For information on battery charging using the on-board charger, refer to Battery Charger in the AC Systems

section of this chapter.

THE BOAT SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS WITH THE EMER-

GENCY PARALLEL SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION.

Make sure that all battery switches are activated whenever the engines are running to ensure that all 12-volt

accessories will operate when they are needed. Current is supplied to the automatic float switches for the

bilge pumps and stereo memory when the batteries are connected and the battery switches are off.

4.4 12-Volt DC Panels

HELM BREAKER PANEL

The helm and cockpit switch functions are protected by a breaker panel located

below the steering helm. The breaker panel is equipped with "push to reset"

breakers that are protected from the elements by rubber boots. These breakers

are all normally on and cannot be manually turned off. Should one of these

breakers trip from overload, push the breaker plunger inside the boot to reset.
