completely except to the automatic bilge pump and
stereo memory. A separate circuit breaker is provided
on the battery switch panel for the automatic bilge
pump. Al ways turn the battery selector switch to the
"OFF" position when the boat is removed from the
water.
NOTICE
DO NOT turn or "pass" the bat tery se lec tor switch
to the "OFF" posi tion while the en gine is run ning.
Al ter na tor and wir ing dam age could re sult.
"ON" (I) - When the battery switch is set to "ON",
current flows from the engine (start) battery to the
engine start circuit, and from the ship's systems
(house) battery to the ship's systems circuits.
"COMBINE BATTERIES" - When the battery switch is
set to "COMBINE BATTERIES", current flows from
both ship's systems and engine batteries to ship's sys-
tems and engine circuits. The "COMBINE BATTER-
IES" function offers the ability to combine the two
battery banks in the event of a low start battery.
NOTICE
The panel is equipped with a voltage sensitive
relay (VSR) to allow charging of both batteries
when the alternator is charging.
B. Low/High Battery Voltage
The information center gauge will display a low or high
battery voltage code when this situation exists. The
codes are as follows:
(12 V LOW) - Low battery voltage. Before the battery
becomes too discharged to start the engine, the
low/high battery voltage indicator light will come on.
See Figure B19.
Figure B19: Low/Hi Battery Voltage Indicator Light
When the indicator light is ON, you should discontinue
all use of electrical accessories immediately and start
the engine in order to recharge the battery.
Should the high battery voltage code (12 V HI) appear
you should see an authorized Scarab dealer for
resolution.

1. Helm Equipment
Depending on the model, the ignition circuit is protected
by circuit breaker (Boat Power) located on the battery
switch panel or by the a fuse in the fuse panel. The helm
switches use symbols for ease of identification. See
Figures B20, B21 & B22. Many of the helm panel
switches have a built-in LED which lights up when the
switch is placed in the"ON" position. This feature helps
the operator know whether or not a component has been
activated, especially in low-light situations. Note: Helm
and switch panels may vary by model along with the
location of various switches.
