Fuses And Breakers - Quicksilver 505 Cabin Owner's Manual

Quicksilver 505CAB — Electrical Systems

5. Fuses and Breakers

Your boat will either have fuses or breakers protecting the DC electrical system. If you have to replace
a fuse or electrical breaker, replace only with a fuse or breaker of the same rating. The amperage will
be marked on the fuse or breaker, and it is recommended that you carry spare fuses or breakers.
If a fuse or breaker is replaced with one that has a lower amperage, it may not be sufficient to carry
the electrical load of the equipment it is connected to and will cause nuisance failures. If a fuse or
breaker is replaced with one that has a higher amperage, it will not provide protection against an
electrical malfunction and could create a possible fire hazard.
Fuses and breakers
ATO/ATC fuse
Located next to the battery switch in the center cockpit floor hatch, there are 2 fuse holders. The
upper fuse holder houses a 20A main fuse for the boat. The lower fuse holder is a 3A fuse for the bilge
pump.
Main Fuses
At the helm, there is an additional fuse panel accessible via the front dash closeout. To access, simply
remove the 4 screws holding the access panel in place.
Use only fuses and breakers having the same amperage
rating as the original or as specified. Use of higher
amperage fuses or breakers is a fire hazard.
