Electronics Main breaker

The Electronics Main Breaker is located on the Main
DC Breaker box (See fig. 4.2.1) on the forward wall
of the console interior.
In the event of a loss of power, determine and correct
the problem before resetting the breaker at this
location. Should a circuit breaker trip repeatedly,

CAUTION
!
Never reset a breaker without first determining
and correcting the cause of the trip. Should
a circuit repeatedly trip, have a qualified
electrician determine and correct the cause.

Fuse Block

There is an electronics fuse
block located on the aft wall of
the console interior. Power from
the ELEC. MAIN is directed
to the fuse block. The stereo,
VHF radio and the chartplotter
options are protected by fuses
at this location.
In the event you need to replace a fuse, use only the
same amperage as the original. It is recommended
that you carry spare fuses.
If a fuse is replaced with one of lower amperage, it
will not be sufficient to carry the electrical load of the
equipment it is connected to and will cause nuisance
fuse failure or breaker tripping.
If a fuse is replaced with one of higher amperage,
it will not provide adequate protection against an
electrical malfunction and will create a fire hazard.

Component Breakers

Component breakers are located on the helm switch
panel. If a component breaker trips, determine and
correct the problem before resetting the breaker.
Should a circuit breaker trip repeatedly, have a
qualified electrician determine and correct the cause
of the trip.
