Section 3 • Systems & Components Overview & Operation
Generator (Option)
It is recommended that you read and understand
the information in the manufacturers owners
manual before operating the generator.
If equipped, the low CO, gas 5 kW generator on your
boat provides 120v/60Hz AC power to your boat's
electrical system through the AC Main Breaker Panel
located in the port console cabin.
Connections to the AC electrical system are made
through cables connected to the slide selector switch
on the AC distribution panel. The generator has a
built in cooling pump which draws cooling water
through a seacock located in the aft machinery
compartment. This water passes through a strainer
before entering the engine cooling manifold.
The generator fuel system is designed to run out of
fuel with about 1/4 tank of fuel remaining, leaving a
reserve of fuel for the propulsion engines.
