245 • Owner's Manual Supplement

Fuses

• Fuses for the engine and main accessory power are on the fuse block under the helm dash.
• Some equipment may have secondary fuse protection at the unit, or at the battery.

12-Volt Accessory Outlet(s)

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 one or more 12-volt accessory outlets.
• The outlet(s) can be used with any 12-volt device which draws 10-amps or less.
• Each 12-volt accessory outlet is protected by a 10-amp fuse on the DC breaker panel.

Alternator

The alternator will keep the battery properly charged when the engine is running at, or above, 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 technology batteries, consult with the battery manu-
facturer about charging system requirements.
• Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and warnings: (1) on the battery charger, (2) on the batteries,
and (3) in the battery charger manual.
• The battery charger will charge the boat's batteries whenever the boat is plugged into 110-volt/60-hertz shore
power and the "BATTERY CHARGER" AC circuit 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 charging the batteries, but there
will be a corresponding drop in charger performance.
