SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
When the engine is running, NEVER turn Off the battery switch or disconnect the
battery cables. Doing either could cause damage to your boat's engine and/or electrical
system components.
Make sure your selling dealer fully explains how to use the battery switch.
• "Stand-by Loads", such as the auto-
matic bilge pump, and the stereo
memory, are not affected by the
battery switch. Stand-by loads
bypass the battery switch and are
wired directly to the battery.
• Turn the battery switch to the Off
position whenever the boat will be
unoccupied for long periods of time.
