12-Volt DC Accessory Outlet

Do NOT use the 12-volt DC accessory outlet with a cigarette or cigar lighter. High tempera-

tures may melt the outlet.

• The outlet can be used with any 12-volt device which draws 15-amps or less.

• Each outlet is protected by a 15-amp breaker on the 12-volt DC push-to-reset circuit breaker panel.

The alternator will keep the battery properly charged when the engine is running at, or above, cruising speeds.

ENGINE and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

NEVER run your boat's engines and the battery charger at the same time.

• The battery charging systems (alternator and battery charger) installed on your boat are

designed to charge conventional lead-acid batteries.

• BEFORE installing gel-cell or other new technology batteries, consult with the battery man-

ufacturer about charging system requirements.

• Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and warnings: (1) on the battery charger, (2) on the batteries,

and (3) in the battery charger manual.

• The battery charger will automatically charge your boat's batteries when 110-volt AC power is being provided by

shore power, and the battery charger circuit breaker on the 110-volt AC master panel is On.

• The battery switch can be in any position during charging.

• During battery charging you may use 12-volt accessories, such as the lights and stereo, but battery charging will

take longer.
