Batteries

The batteries supply electricity for lights, accessories and engine starting.
The electrical section of Chapter 8, in the Cruiser & Yacht Owner's Manual, provides battery care and
maintenance instructions.

Battery Charger (If Equipped)

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 tech-
nology batteries, consult with the battery manufacturer about charging system requirements.
Your boat may be equipped with a battery charger located on the
forward engine room bulkhead. Thoroughly read and under-
stand the battery charger manual (provided in your boat's
owner's packet) before using the battery charger for the
first time.
• The battery charger will charge the boat's batteries whenever
the boat is plugged into 120V/60Hz shore power.
• For proper charging; turn the battery switch to any position
except BOTH.
