Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The engine is protected by a large cir-
cuit breaker located on the engine.
The accessories are protected by cir-
cuit breakers on the battery switch
panel and by the accessory circuit
breakers located below the steering
wheel. Wires are color-coded to indi-
cate which accessory each fuse ser-
vices. Some items, such as radios and
bilge pumps, may be fused individu-
ally at the unit. Autofloat switches are
fused at the battery.

Batteries

The batteries supply electricity for
lights, accessories and engine starting.
The Electrical section of Chapter 8, in
the Owner's Manual, provides battery,
care and maintenance instructions.

Battery Switch

The battery switch (located in the aft
deck storage area) has four (4) posi-
tions (see photograph on right);
• Position "1" - Provides power for
engine starting and accessories,
from battery "1". Battery "1" (only)
will be charged by the engine alter-
nator when the engine is running at high idle or faster.
• Position "2" - Provides power for engine starting and accessories, from battery "2". Battery "2" (only) will be
charged by the engine alternator when the engine is running at high idle or faster.
• Position "BOTH" - If batteries are low; provides power for engine starting from both batteries. The "BOTH" posi-
tion also allows the charging of both batteries by the engine alternator when the engine is running at high idle or
faster.
• The battery switch should be switched to the
