CHAPTER 3: COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS

Electrical System

Thoroughly read and understand this section, the electrical sections of the Owner's
Manual and all accessory manuals included in your boat's owner's packet. Wiring
schematics are provided at the back of this supplement.
• NEVER install knife switches or other arcing devices in fuel compartments.
• NEVER substitute automotive parts for marine parts. Electrical, ignition and
fuel system parts were designed and manufactured to comply with rules and
regulations that minimize risks of fire and explosion.
• Ensure all of the battery switches are in the OFF position before performing
any work in the engine spaces.
• DO NOT modify the electrical systems or relevant drawings.
• Only qualified personnel should install batteries and/or perform maintenance
on the electrical system.
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Fuel fumes are heavier than air and will collect in the bilge areas where they
can be accidently ignited. Visually and by smell (sniff test), check the engine
and fuel compartments for fumes or accumulation of fuel. Always use the
bilge blowers for at least four minutes prior to engine starting, electrical sys-
tem maintenance or activation of electrical devices.
• Minimize the danger of fire and explosion by not exposing batteries to open
flame or sparks. NEVER allow smoking anywhere near the batteries.
Electrical connections are prone to corrosion. To reduce corrosion caused elec-
trical problems, keep all electrical connections clean and apply a spray-on pro-
tectant that is designed to protect connections from corrosion.
