NOTICE
Twelve volt power to the cabin panel is
supplied by the "SHIPS SYSTEMS" circuit
breaker on the battery selector panel. This
must be turned on to operate any  volt
accessories on the cabin panel. The bilge
pumps, stereo and windlass receive power
from the ships system battery and remain on
at all time regardless of battery selector or
ship systems switch position.
NOTICE
DO NOT turn the battery selector switch to the
"OFF" position while its corresponding engine
is running. Alternator and wiring damage could
result.
Port Engine Battery Switch:
"ON" - Turning the switch to position "ON" will use the
port.engine.battery.to.power.the.port.engine.and.12.
volt.engine.related.equipment..The.ships.system.
battery.will.not.be.used.for.any.engine.related.equip-
ment,.but.will.power.all.other.12.volt.equipment.on.the.
boat..The.isolator.will.allow.any.alternator.to.charge.all.
three batteries. "ON" is the recommended switch
position.for.normal.boat.operation..This.position.allows.
maximum.use.of.12.volt.equipment.on.the.boat..
Starboard Engine Battery Switch:
"ON" - Turning the switch to position "ON" will use the
stbd.engine.battery.to.power.the.stbd.engine.and.12.
volt.engine.related.equipment...The.ships.system.
battery.will.not.be.used.for.any.engine.related.equip-
ment,.but.will.power.all.other.12.volt.equipment.on.the.

Emergency Start Procedures:
If.one.of.the.designated.engine.batteries.fails.to.start.
its.respective.engine,.engage.the."EMERGENCY.
START" switch at the helm and attempt to start the
engine. NOTE: The "WINDLASS/EMERG START"
circuit.breaker.switch,.located.on.the.AC/DC.panel..
(if applicable), must be placed in the "ON" position in
order.to.start.the.engine..Current.is.drawn.from.the.
other.batteries.to.start.the.engine..Once.engine.has.
been started return the "EMERGENCY START"
Electrical Systems - Section H
switch to the "OFF" position. Once back at port, be
sure.to.have.the.failed.engine.battery.checked.out.for.
possible.service.or.replacement..
H - 3 BATTERY CHARGER
The.battery.charger.is.standard.on.the.348.Vista
models.and.is.located.in.engine.compartment..The.
batteries.will.be.charged.by.the.battery.charger.when.
the.boat.is.connected.to.dockside.power.and.the.AC.
circuit breakers are "ON". If a generator is available
and.operating,.it.too.will.allow.the.batteries.to.be.
charged.by.the.battery.charger.
Additional.information.on.the.battery.charger.can.be.
found.in.Section.H-8B.-.120.Volt.AC.Equipment.in.this.
manual.and.refer.to.the.manufacturer's.literature.
included.with.the.owner's.packet.

VOLTMETER

Dual.gauges.with.voltmeters.are.installed.in.the.dash.
panel.to.monitor.the.condition.of.the.engine.battery(s).. .
When.the.voltage.is.checked.during.engine.operation,.
the.voltage.of.the.respective.battery.will.be.indicated.
on.the.respective.voltmeter..It.should.be.noted.that.
located.in.the.AC/DC.cabin.panel.is.a.voltmeter.which.
monitors the "SHIPS SYSTEMS" battery. Additional
information.on.voltmeters.may.be.found.in.the.engine.
