Rules Of The Open Water Just as there are rules that apply when driving a vehicle on the street, there are waterway rules that apply when driving a boat on the water. These rules are used internationally, and they are enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules and follow them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water.

Operational Hints Aviara urges all who will be operating the boat to seek certified instruction from the local boating authorities.

The Engine Battery switch controls the engine start up, and the House Main is dedicated to the house system, but can be charged by the generator where equipped. The number of batteries in each Aviara is determined by the entertainment Purpose options selected on each boat.
Page 134 Troubleshooting Because battery needs can vary substantially depending on a number of factors in usage, from boating locations to number of electrical components on the boat, Aviara strongly encourages you to discuss this critical matter with your authorized Aviara dealer prior to purchase and placement of the battery in the boat.
Page 135 Due to the presence of water in the boating environment, Aviara utilizes Ground Fault Interruption (GFI) circuit breaker boards. These are solid-state devices that sense when there is a ground fault, which often occurs in instances involving water penetration. When the electrical flow is interrupted through a fuse, it then has to be replaced rather than reset.
Page 136 Operation On all models, if a problem develops with one of the circuits, switch OFF the circuit and wait for approximately one (1) minute. Then fully push the appropriate breaker button and switch ON the circuit. If the circuit continues to trip, there is a problem somewhere that must be attended to immediately.
Page 137 Purpose The circuit breakers are for powering on and off various systems throughout the boat. Operation Review the individual systems manuals for breaker/electrical panel operation, which are included in the Owner’s Manual packet. Battery Charger Models All, as an option Purpose As a convenience, a battery charger is offered as an option.
Page 138 Location Locations vary by model. When charging, batteries generate small amounts of dangerous hydrogen gas. This gas is highly explosive. Keep all sparks, flames Operation and smoking well away from the area. Failure to follow instructions The red and green LED lights, which are mounted on the when charging a battery may cause an electrical charge or even an charger face, indicate when the unit is recharging and explosion of the battery, which could result in death or serious injury.
Page 139 Ignition Key Slots Operation Prior to plugging any accessory into a 12-volt receptacle, ensure that the device is designed for use when connected to a 12-volt receptacle and will not be damaged by the connection to the receptacle. Never try to force a connection. Use of unacceptable chargers constitutes abuse of the system and Aviara will not be responsible for subsequent damage to the boat’s electrical system or the charger or the device being charged.
