All Monterey boat models are equipped with full instrumentation for
monitoring boat performance. Each individually switched electrical circuit is
protected with a replaceable fuse. An accessory circuit is provided for
additional elecrical accessories. Refer to the Controls and Indicators section
for more information. See page M-20 to M-31 for Sport boat helms.

BATTERY SWITCHES

Your boat may be equipped with an optional battery switch which connects/
disconnects all power to the electrical system (except the automatic bilge
pump, stereo memory, and electronic corrosion controller if equipped). Two
types of battery switches are common; a single battery switch for one battery
system, and a dual battery selector switch for systems with an auxiliary
battery.
