feeds the Helm breaker panel. Helm circuits are then
controlled from switches and circuit breakers. (see
Fig_6.2-7)
(Fig_6.2-7)
The voltmeter reads the voltage of the "Start" bank
(meter position 1) and the "House" bank (meter
position 2). Note: meter position 3 is not used.
The 12V DC section of the electrical distribution
panel is sized to handle the range of loads
associated with the boat's systems. Be sure not to
overload any of the circuits when adding further 12V
DC appliances to the boat.
F. Lighting Circuits
Overhead helm deck lights are controlled by a switch
located on the Hard Top. (see Fig_6.2-15) The lights
are on one circuit, Lights Pilot House, located on the
DC distribution panel (see Fig_6.2-5). The overhead
light switch has two "ON" positions: one for normal
white light and the other for red colored light. Use red
light in order to preserve night vision when operating
the vessel after sunset.
Helm and cockpit deck courtesy lights are wired to a
3-way switch at the helm and transom door (see
Fig_6.2-17).
Note:
Helm and cockpit courtesy lights are wired
through a 24-hour fuse block.
Individually switched lights are spread throughout the
cabin. The lights (see Fig_6.2-13) are on the Cabin
Lights circuit, located on the DC distribution panel
(see Fig_6.2-5).
(Fig_6.2-13)
Individually switched lights are spread throughout the
engine room (see Fig_6.2-16). The lights are on one
circuit, Engine Room Lights, located on the DC
distribution panel (see Fig_6.2-5).
(see Fig_6.2-16)
Do not increase the wattage of any light without
checking to see that doing so would not exceed the
rating for the circuit.
G. Navigation Lights
Navigation lighting is controlled from the Helm switch
and breaker panels. (see Fig_6.2-7)
H. Anchor Windlass (optional)
The anchor windlass is wired directly to the ship's
service battery switch (not through the 12V DC
section of the electrical distribution panel), due to its
heavy power requirement. A solenoid, controlled by a
switch on the Helm Instrument Panel, controls the
"ON/OFF" function of the windlass. Anchor windlass
controls are located on the fore deck (see Fig_6.8-1
and Fig_6.8-5) and at the helm (see Fig_6.11-1 and
Fig_6.8-4). Activation of the foot or helm controls
powers a relay, driving the windlass "power-up" or
"power-down".
I.

Electronics and Optional Hardware

The installation of navigation electronics is provided
for by the inclusion of adequate circuit breakers for
typical systems.
Competent technicians will be required to verify
appropriate interfaces
