Bow Panel - Glastron Boats User Manual

The system employs several electronic circuits especially
designed for superb radio reception on both AM and FM
bands. Built into the unit are the SNC (Stereo Noise Cut)
for noise reduction on FM broadcasts and the HCC (High
Cut Circuit) which automatically cuts hissing noise.
Your boat is equipped with waterproof marine stereo
speakers. The number of speakers and their location will
change per Glastron model. Some of the other features
include AM/FM selector buttons, weather-band selector
with channel selector, 7 band equalizer, head phone jack,
CD (Compact Disc) input jack, automatic seek control,
clock, battery back-up, memory, and mute control.
NOTE: The above listed features may vary on some
marine stereo models. See the manufacturer's owner's
manual for a complete list of features.
Automatic Fire Suppression System
Your boat may be equipped with an automatic fire suppres-
sion system in the engine compartment. This system uses
a fire extinguishing agent. A heat-sensitive automatic noz-
zle releases the agent as a vapor, cutting off the supply of
oxygen to the fire. The system's indicator light is illuminat-
ed when the system is fully charged. When the system is
discharged, the indicator light will go out. The light is on
the dash or a separate monitoring panel, depending on
boat model.
WARNING: If system discharges, immediately turn
OFF engine, bilge blower(s), and electrical systems.
Extinguish all smoking materials. Do not open engine
compartment. Fresh air supplies oxygen to fire and fire
may flash back through opening.
If the system discharges, do not open engine compartment
for at least 15 minutes. Hot metals or fuel can also begin
cooling during this time. Cautiously inspect compartment
for cause of fire and damage to equipment. Have portable
extinguishers readily available. Do not breathe fire caused
fumes or vapors.

BOW PANEL

Some boats have an electrical panel in the bow. This panel
has controls associated with the livewell aerator, the elec-
tric trolling motor, and the battery charger plug. Figure 2.2
is an electrical schematic of this panel.
Boats with a bow panel have two extra deep-cycle batter-
ies in the stern which power the livewell aerator, the trolling
motor, and the fish locator. These batteries are indepen-
dent from the boat's direct current (DC) electrical system
which is powered by your boat's starting battery. (Glastron
does not supply these batteries.)
Livewell Aerator
An AERATOR ON/OFF toggle switch controls the opera-
tion of the livewell aerator. Toggling the switch to ON starts
the livewell water pump and aerates the livewell. Toggling
the switch OFF stops the pump. A fuse for the aerator
pump is near the aerator toggle switch.
Trolling Motor Power Outlet
The factory has equipped your boat with a trolling motor
plug and a battery charger plug. These plugs are designed
to be used with the trolling motor outlet on the bow panel.
Glastron Boats recommends that you have your dealer
install the trolling motor and battery charger plugs. To
avoid damage to your boat or its equipment, and to pre-
