ECTION
NOTE: Sometimes a circuit breaker location is labeled but no circuit breaker
is present. In this case, the component named on the label is an option that is
not installed on your boat.

2.2.1 Safety Breaker Panel

The Safety Breaker Panel, located in the engine room on the starboard aft
bulkhead, manages the power supply to various safety and other equip-
ment. Refer to the "Engine Room" portion of Section 9 for the exact
location of the Safety Breaker Panel.
Because of the importance of the safety equipment, the circuit breakers on
this panel should remain "ON" at all times. If a circuit breaker trips, imme-
diately identify and correct the cause of the problem, then reset the
breaker.
Power is always provided to the Auto Bilge Pump, Auto Sump, both CO
Detectors, Stereo Memory, Stereo Memory (Bridge) if installed, High
Water and Electric Shift circuit breakers on this panel. To provide power
to the other circuit breakers, the "house" battery bank master disconnect
switch must be turned to the "ON" position. The Safety Breaker Panel
contains the switches and circuit breakers described below.

2.2.1.1 Auto Bilge Pump - Forward, Mid, and Aft

These breakers control the flow of electricity to the bilge pumps. Each pump
is activated automatically by a float switch whenever water within the bilge
rises to a predetermined level. These breakers must be "ON" whenever the
boat is in the water.
NOTE: Periodically test each bilge pump by lifting its float. The pump
should turn on when the float is lifted.

2.2.1.2 Auto Sump - Forward

This breaker controls the flow of electricity to the forward sump pump.
Because the sump is located below the boat's water line, the sump pump is
needed to pump shower waste water, sink waste water, and air conditioning
condensation overboard or into the optional grey water tank. The sump
pump is activated automatically by a float switch whenever water within
the sump rises above a predetermined level. Switch the Auto Sump - For-
ward circuit breaker "ON" before using the showers or sinks in the heads,
and before using the air conditioning system.
