Electrical System
DC Accessory Breaker Panels
Power is distributed to most of the 12-volt acces-
sories through individual circuit breakers located in
the DC breaker panels. There are two DC breaker
panels, the battery switch breaker panel in the
compartment on the starboard side of the cockpit,
below the stereo and the main DC breaker panel
located in the storage compartment, forward of
the helm. Main breakers located in the battery
switch panel protect the system from an overload.
Some 12-volt accessories are operated directly by
the circuit breaker in the panels while others are
operated by switches fed by the panel breakers.
Battery Switch Panel Breakers
The following is a description of the accessories
controlled by the "push to reset" and main DC
breakers in the battery switch panel located in the
compartment below the stereo.
Boat Amplifier (Optional)
A heavy duty circuit breaker that provides protec-
tion and power for the stereo amplifier for the boat
speaker system. This breaker is supplied current
when the battery selector switch is activated. If
this circuit breaker is tripped by an overload, a
red lever will be exposed near the center of the
breaker. Reset the breaker by raising the lever
until it locks in the horizontal position.
Tower Amplifier (Optional)
A heavy duty circuit breaker that provides pro-
tection and power for the stereo amplifier for the
MSX Tower speaker system. This breaker is sup-
plied current when the battery selector switch is
activated. If this circuit breaker is tripped by an
overload, a red lever will be exposed near the cen-
ter of the breaker. Reset the breaker by raising
the lever until it locks in the horizontal position.
Bilge Pump
Provides protection and power for the automatic
float switch on the aft bilge pump. This "push to
reset" breaker is always supplied current when the
batteries are connected. Another breaker in the
main DC breaker panel provides circuit protection
for the manual switch.
Ignition
Provides protection and continuous power for the
computer memory for the engine. This "push to
reset" breaker is always supplied current when
the batteries are connected.

Aft Seat
Provides protection and power to the main circuit
for the actuator that moves the reclining aft seat.
This "push to reset" breaker is supplied current
when the battery switch is activated.
breaker in the helm breaker panel provides circuit
protection for the aft seat control switch located
in the panel next to the stereo.
DC Main
The primary circuit for the main DC panel near
the helm is protected and powered by this circuit
breaker. Other circuit breakers located in the
main DC breaker panel protect the individual DC
circuits. This "push to reset" breaker is supplied
current when the battery switch is activated.
Main DC Breaker Panel
The main DC breaker panel is located on the
starboard side of the cockpit in the storage com-
partment forward of the helm. The following is
a description of the accessories protected by the
"push to reset" breakers in the main DC breaker
panel:
Nav Lights
Provides protection and electrical current to the
switch that activates the navigation lights.
Cockpit Lights
Provides protection and electrical current to the
switch that activates the cockpit lights.
