Battery Charging
Each engine has an alternator which not only charges the batteries which provides DC electrical power
to the boat. In addition a fully automatic battery charger
(Figure
3-28) is located on the firewall to
recharge all three batteries.
The charger is protected by three circuit breakers on the Battery Switch Panel. The three breakers
control which battery is charged (port battery, starboard battery, or generator/house battery). By default
all three breakers are protected and set to ON. Never turn these breakers OFF.
A manufacturer's operation booklet is supplied with the vessel and contains additional information
which you should become familiar with.
