Electrical System

The engine is equipped with a 2-pole electrical system
and an alternator.
WARNING!
Always stop the engine and break the current using the
main switches before working on the engine.
IMPORTANT:
Contact a Volvo Penta dealer for information if any arc
welding will be performed on the boat.
Arc welding can cause damage to the engine and boat
electronics.

Main switch

IMPORTANT:
Never disconnect the current using the main switches
when the engine is running.
The alternator and electronics could be damaged.
The main switches must never be switched off before
the engine has stopped. If the circuit between the
alternator and the battery is disconnected when the
engine is running, the alternator and electronics may
be damaged. For the same reason, the charging
circuits must never be re-connected with the engine
running.

Fuses

The engine is fitted with two automatic circuit breakers
(1). The circuit breakers cut the power if the system is
overloaded.
If it is not possible to start the engine or if the instrument
stops working while running, the circuit breaker may
have been activated. Reset by pressing in the circuit
breaker (1).
IMPORTANT:
Always investigate the cause of the overload. If the
fuse trips frequently, contact an authorized Volvo
Penta workshop.

Electrical Connections

Check that electrical connections are dry, free from
oxide, and that they are securely tightened.
