Battery Switch (If Equipped with Two Batteries)

SHOCK and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
When the engine is running, NEVER turn Off the battery switch or disconnect the bat-
tery cables. Doing either could cause damage to your boat's engine and/or electrical
system components.
• Standby-loads, such as the automatic
bilge pumps and the stereo memory, are
not affected by the battery switch since
they are wired directly to the batteries.
• Turn the battery switch to the Off posi-
tion whenever your boat will be unoccu-
pied for long periods of time.

Battery Switch Positions

Since your boat's batteries were installed by your dealer, the battery switch positions listed
