Quicksilver® 605BR — Electrical Systems
1. DC Electrical System
The DC electrical system is powered by a single battery, and is kept charged by the engine driven
alternator. The battery voltage is indicated by the voltmeter screen located on the SmartCraft®
tachometer.

2. Battery

Quicksilver® recommends AGM type starting or a deep cycle battery for you boat. The battery must
meet the minimum capacity required by the engine manufacturer. Refer to your engine owner's
manual for exact battery requirements.
To remove the battery cables:
1. Turn off all items drawing power from the battery.
2. Turn the battery switch to the OFF position.
3. Remove the negative cable first, then the positive cable.
4. To replace the cables, install the positive cable first, then the negative cable.

3. Battery Box

The battery is located in the aft bench seat storage. It can be installed or removed by loosening the
strap and removing the lid on the battery box. The battery should always be installed and secured
within the battery box on your boat. This will ensure that the battery will not move around while the
boat is underway.
Never use an open flame in the battery storage area. Avoid
striking sparks in the battery area.

4. Battery Selector Switch

Your vessel is equipped with a battery switch to control the delivery of DC power from the battery.
The battery switch panel is located in the aft bench seat storage tub. When you turn the battery
switch to the ON position, power is provided from the battery to the entire boat. To turn on power,
rotate the switch clockwise 90 degrees to the ON position.
The bilge pump still draws power from the batteries, even if
the switches are set to OFF. This is especially important for
the bilge pump, so that they can operate anytime excess
fluid accumulates in the bilge, which can occur when the
boat is docked and unattended.
Battery Switch Operation
