8 Chapter 2: Features & Systems

Electrical System

Thoroughly read and understand this section, the electrical sections of the owner's manual and all accessory manuals
included in your boat's owner's packet. Wiring schematics are provided in Chapter 3 of this supplement.
EXTREME FIRE, SHOCK & EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• To minimize the risks of fire and explosion, never install knife switches or other arcing devices in the fuel
compartments. Never substitute automotive parts for marine parts. Electrical, ignition and fuel system
parts were designed and manufactured to comply with rules and regulations that minimize risks of fire and
explosion.
• Do not modify the electrical systems or relevant drawings.
• Only qualified personnel should install batteries and/or perform electrical system maintenance.
• Insure that all battery switches are in the OFF position before performing any work in the engine spaces.
• Fuel fumes are heavier than air and will collect in the bilge areas where they can be accidently ignited.
Visually and by smell (sniff test), check the engine and fuel compartments for fumes or accumulation of
fuel. Always operate the bilge blowers for at least four minutes prior to engine starting, electrical system
maintenance or activation of electrical devices.
• Minimize the danger of fire and explosion by not exposing batteries to open flame or sparks. It is also
important that no one smoke anywhere near the batteries.
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
Never disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running since it can cause damage to your
boat's electrical system components.
Electrical connections are prone to corrosion. To reduce corrosion caused electrical problems, keep all electri-
cal connections clean and apply a spray-on protectant that is designed to protect connections from corrosion.
Since the batteries on your boat were dealer-installed, the battery switch positions listed on the next page may
vary. Make sure you've had a full explanation of battery switch operation from your selling dealer.
