ELECTRICAL
A boat component that is electrically operated will not operate.
• Be certain the boat electrical system is ON. Generally, this requires turning the ignition key ON
or pressing the ON button.
• Verify that the battery connections are secure and that there is sufficient charge and power.
See the Battery information in this Owner's Manual for additional details.
• Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped. If it has, reset it. Recurrent trips are indicative
of a problem that requires the attention of an authorized Axis dealer.
• Check for loose connections, but do not remove any kick panels to do so. If a loose connection
is suspected but cannot be seen, have the system checked by an authorized Axis dealer.
• If the component is electronic, be certain the component is operational. If it requires
reception from a satellite, tower or other supplier, Axis cannot guarantee that it will receive
the signal. It may be necessary to move the boat to another location or body of water, or pay
a subscription fee.
Accessories will not recharge in the 12-volt receptacle.
• Verify that the correct charger was used for the item(s) and that the charger plug-in was fully
seated in the 12-volt receptacle.
BATTERY FAILURE
• Often, a battery that will not start the boat requires recharging. Use ONLY a marine-approved
battery charger. Any other can damage the electrical system, and such damage is not
covered under warranty. NEVER attempt to "jump" from a vehicle or another boat as there is
a potential for overload that could significantly damage the boat's electrical system, which
is not covered under warranty! Read the battery information provided in the Dash and Video
Screens section of this Owner's Manual before undertaking any attempt to replace, use both
batteries simultaneously, or replace the battery.
ALARMS
The low voltage alarm sounds.
• Most often, this signals the need to turn OFF and leave OFF the stereo component or similar
electronics that require substantial support from the batteries. Start the engine and allow the
alternator to recharge the batteries, which will require a fairly short period of time if there is no
additional drain occurring during the recharging time. If this does not work, it may be possible
that the battery or batteries are nearing their terminal life span.
Another alarm sounds.
• These occur when a sensor detects that the engine or transmission temperature range or
oil pressure range have exceeded programmed limits. The boat's main system may begin
shutting off peripheral activity to retain proper operation as long as possible. It is usually in the
operational best interest to return to shore as soon as possible to avoid being stranded. Even if
the ranges return to acceptable operating range, this matter should be shared with the service
department of your authorized Axis dealer to determine the cause and avoid a repeat.
BILGE AND BALLAST
The bilge pumps are not operating.
• The bilge pump(s) should operate automatically. If it does not, use the manual switch. If it
still does not operate, return to shore IMMEDIATELY and terminate the outing. Failure to
pump water out of the bilge can result in the boat swamping and sinking. This could result in
serious injury or death to those on-board.
The ballast pump is not operating.
• If the ballast pump does not pump water into the system, and having verified that the
electrical system is operational, leave the pump OFF and have it serviced by an authorized
Axis dealer. If the pump does not pump water out of the system, seek assistance by calling
your Axis dealer. You should never attempt to trailer your boat with water in the ballast
