Engine Alternators; Battery Charger; Ac Electrical System - Bayliner 3488 Owner's Manual

The batteries supply electricity for lights, engine and generator starting, as well as power to turn on
accessories. Remove the battery caps and check the electrolyte level every 30 days or more frequently in hot weather.
Add distilled water to the cells if necessary.
Corroded battery terminals can be cleaned with baking soda and water. After cleaning the terminals, coat them with a
light film of battery terminal lubricant and tighten all battery connections.
Battery condition can be checked on the "Electrical System Monitor" located on the DC distribution panel in the AC/
DC cabinet on the port side of the salon.

Engine Alternators

The engine alternators will maintain proper charge levels in the engine and accessory batteries (some situations may
require running the engines at 1200 RPM to initiate charging).

Battery Charger

In addition to the engine alternators, your yacht is equipped with a battery charger. Thoroughly read and understand
the battery charger manual, provided in your yacht's owner's packet, before using the charger. The battery charger is
located in the utility room. The circuit breaker for the battery charger is located on the salon electrical cabinet and
must be turned on for charging to occur.
The battery charging systems (alternator and battery charger) installed are designed to charge
conventional lead-acid batteries. Before installing gel-cell or other new technology batteries,
consult with the battery manufacturer about charging systems requirements.

AC Electrical System

• Your yacht uses 120v AC/60Hz A system.
• Τhe AC system can be energized by shore power, optional
inverter power or optional generator power.
• The master circuit breakers, located on the AC panel, provide
power source selections to AC powered accessories. Individ-
ual breakers must be turned on to supply power to the acces-
sories you wish to use.
• This system is designed so that ship's power and shore power
sources cannot supply power at the same time.
• The AC panel may contain inactive circuit breakers for
accessories that are not available for this model yacht.
WATER HEATER DAMAGE HAZARD!
• DO NOT energize the AC water heater electrical circuit until the heater is completely filled
with water. Even momentary operation in a dry tank will damage the heating elements.
• Warranty replacements will not be made on elements or tank damaged in this manner.
• The tank is full if water flows from the tap when the hot water is turned on in the galley.
