SWITCHES AND BREAKERS

The number and type of switches and circuit breakers on your boat will vary by
model and options. The following is a general reference for typical layouts.
Observer Seat Storage Compartment
• Battery Switch - makes or breaks electrical power from the battery to all boat
systems except the Bilge Pump.
• Buss Switch - makes or breaks electrical power from the battery to the network
buss.
• Bilge Pump Circuit Breaker - disconnects power to the bilge pump should an
overload occur. If the bilge pump does not work, check for the cause and press
to reset.
• Digital Switch Breaker - disconnects power to the helm switch panels should
an overload occur. If a switch does not work, check for the cause and press to
reset.
Power Switch Panel
The power switch panel is located at the helm and uses a key switch to turn power
to dash and controls ON and OFF.
• Power Switch - makes or breaks electrical power from the battery to the helm.
• Kill Switch - an important safety feature that uses a lanyard attached between
the switch and the operator to prevent a runaway boat situation should the
operator move from the helm or get thrown from the boat. Refer to Section 3
Safety for more information.
• 12 VDC Accessory Port - use for standard 12 volt accessories.
