SECTION XIII: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
To provide electrical power to the various circuits, turn on the master switch
located on the aft bulkhead under the main companionway. Place the switch in
position 1, 2, or ALL. In position 1 or 2, electrical power will be drawn from
battery 1 or 2, and with the engine running, battery 1 or 2 will be charged by
the engine alternator. In position ALL, both batteries will provide power and
will be charged simultaneously.
NOTE:
Do not change position of battery switch while engine is running. To do
so may burn out the diodes on the alternator.
A good procedure to follow is to charge both batteries (ALL position) while
running under power; then when the engine is shut down, turn to position 1 or 2.
As a simple reminder, use the date, even days, position 2; odd days, position 1.
With the master switch on, turning the toggle switches on the adjacent
distribution panel to the ON position will energize the various circuits such as
cabin lights, instruments, etc. When leaving the boat for extended periods of
time, turn off the master switch and the toggle switches on the distribution
panel.
