Battery Switch – Connects the battery to the electrical
system. Provides isolation and positive disconnect of
battery. Rotate switch to the OFF position when boat is
not in use.
Battery Selector Switch – Operates as a battery
switch and provides the additional ability to connect two
batteries in parallel for starting in case one battery is
low. Rotate switch to the OFF position when the boat is
not in use.
Never turn switch to the OFF position while the engine(s) is
running or serious alternator/electrical system damage could
occur.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM
Some stern drive boats are equipped with an optional
Halon Automatic Fire Extinguishing System for an engine
compartment fire. The system is automatically actuated
when temperatures reach or exceed a preset limit.
When actuation occurs, a loud popping sound may be
heard followed by "rushing" air sound. When a discharge
occurs, immediately shut down all electrical and
mechanical systems, and powered ventilation if not
already done automatically by means of the pressure
switch (optional).
Do not open the engine hatch at this time! This feeds
oxygen to the fire and flashback can occur. Allow the
Halon extinguishing agent to "soak" the compartment for
at least fifteen (15) minutes, and wait for hot metals
and fuels to cool before inspecting for cause or damage.
Halon and fire by-product fumes are toxic; do not breath halon
or fire fumes. Accidental discharge can be dangerous and may
cause serious injury. do not attempt to service the system
unless qualified to do so.
