Gasoline vapors can explode resulting in
injury or death. Before starting the engine,
check engine compartment bilge for gasoline
or vapors. Operate blower for four minutes,
and verify blower operation. ALWAYS run the
blower when the vessel is operating below
cruising speed.
Cockpit Lights - The COCKPIT LTS switch is used to
activate the cockpit (courtesy) lights. An additional
cockpit light switch is typically located on the cabin
light switch panel.
Horn - To sound the horn, press the HORN switch.
Instrument Lights - On certain Vista™ models, the
INSTRUMENT LTS switch is used to activate the instru-
ment lights on the dash. A switch allows for the high/low
illumination of the instrument lights.
Navigation & Anchor Lights - Moving the NAV/ANC
LTS switch towards the NAV position activates the bow
lights and the all-around light (or arch light if installed on
certain models). Move the switch to the ANC position
to activate the all-around light or arch light. The center
switch position is "OFF".
Arch Light - The ARCH LTS switch is used to activate
the radar arch lights.
Trim Tabs - The boat is equipped with electric-hydraulic
trim tabs, the trim tabs are controlled by the TRIM TAB
switches. Refer to Section E-8 - Trim Tabs for more
information.
Windlass - The WINDLASS switch activates the
windlass. On certain Vista™ models with windlass, a
circuit breaker is typically located on the battery switch
panel. Refer to the Section M-12 in this manual and the
manufacturer's literature for additional information.
Engine Hatch - The ENGINE HATCH switch (if ap-
plicable) is used to raise and lower the engine lid by
activating a linear screw jack. Pressing the upper por-

B. Installation of Additional 12 Volt Equipment
Accessories may be added to the boat by wiring directly
to the cabin panel. Non-factory installed 12 volt acces-
sory equipment can be connected to the "ACC" switch
on the dash.
Be sure to provide proper fuse or circuit break-
er protection for all 12 volt equipment that is
installed. DO NOT overload the accessory
circuitry by installing too much additional 12 volt
equipment.
C. Interior Equipment
Cabin equipment will be protected by the 12 volt DC
cabin panel or the 12 volt fuse panel depending on
the model. Cabin equipment information is listed as
follows:
CO Monitor - The CO monitors are protected by a circuit
breaker in the cabin panel or helm fuse panel.
Cabin Lights - To turn the overhead lights on, activate
the LIGHTING circuit breaker on the 12 volt cabin panel
(if applicable). Use the corresponding CABIN LIGHTS
"ON/OFF" switch located on cabin lights panel to ac-
tivate. Additional cabin light "ON/OFF" switches may
be located in various areas of the cabin i.e. forward
berthing area depending upon model.
Forward Bilge Pump - The forward bilge pump available
on certain models can be activated manually by the
FWD BILGE PUMP breaker switch placed in the "ON"
position. This breaker switch is located on the AC/DC
panel of certain Vista™ models only. Note: Instead of a
circuit breaker switch, certain model Vista™ may have
the forward bilge pump protected by a fuse located in
the fuse panel below the helm.
Any water from the stringers or from other sources
within the cabin will drain into the forward bilge compart-
ment. The pump is equipped with an automatic float
switch and will operate whenever bilge water rises to
a level that will cause the float to move upward. The
water will be pumped overboard.
Head Compartment Vent/Blower - A blower is installed
in the head compartment on certain Vistas. A separate
"ON/OFF" switch is provided in the head compartment.
The head vent is protected by a "HEAD LIGHT" circuit
breaker on the cabin DC panel or by a fuse in the fuse
panel.
