Chapter 12: Electrical System

Alternator

The engine alternator will keep the batteries properly charged when running at cruising speeds.

Battery Charger (If Equipped)

ENGINE & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
NEVER run the boat's engine 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 tech-
nology batteries, consult with the battery manufacturer about charging system requirements.
Thoroughly read and understand the battery charger manual (provided in your owner's packet) before using the bat-
tery charger for the first time.
• The battery charger will charge the boat's batteries whenever the boat is plugged into 120V/60Hz shore power and
the "BATTERY CHARGER" AC breaker is On.
• The battery switch can be in any position during charging.
• You may use DC powered electrical systems, such as the lights and stereo when the battery charger is On, but
there will be a corresponding drop in charger performance.

12-Volt Accessory Outlet

DO NOT use the 12-volt accessory outlet with a cigarette or cigar lighter. High temperatures
may melt the outlet.
• Your boat is equipped with a 12-volt accessory outlet at the helm.
• The outlet can be used with any 12-volt device which draws 15 amps or less.
• The 12-volt accessory outlet is protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker on the main circuit breaker panel.
