Battery Switch (If Equipped with One Battery)

SHOCK and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
When the engine is running, NEVER turn Off the battery switch or disconnect the bat-
tery cables. Doing either could cause damage to your boat's engine and/or electrical
system.
Make sure your selling dealer fully explains how to use the battery switch.
• Standby-loads, such as the automatic
bilge pumps and the stereo memory, are
not affected by the battery switch because
they are wired directly to the battery.
• Turn the battery switch to the Off
position whenever your boat will be
unoccupied for long periods of time.
