The optional battery switch controls the delivery of
DC power from the batteries to the engine and all
equipment, lights and accessories using DC power.
The battery switch is located on the port hull and
can be accessed by raising the aft jump seat.
NOTE: The bilge pump and stereo memory are not
shut off by the battery switch. This is to permit the
bilge pump to operate at any time excess fluid
accumulates in the bilge, which can occur when
the boat is docked and unattended. The entire
remaining DC system is turned off with the battery
switch.

USES
If you need to replace a fuse, use only the same
amperage as the original. It is recommended that
you carry spare fuses. See Fig. 6.3.1 for the proper
fuse sizes.
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.
Use of higher amperage fuses or breakers is a fire
hazard.
Use fuses and breakers having the same amperage
rating as the original or as specified.
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.
The fuses are color coded according to the
amperage. The rating is marked on each fuse.
