Fuses and Circuit Breakers

• Fuses for the accessory items are on the fuse blocks.

• Some equipment may have secondary fuse protection at the unit, or at the battery.

• The DC circuit breakers for the stand-by loads, and the DC main circuit breaker for the engine and main accessory

power, are located on the battery switch panel.

• See the Locations section of this Supplement for the location of the fuse blocks and circuit breakers.

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 15-amps or less.

• Each 12-volt accessory outlet is protected by a 15-amp fuse on the DC breaker panel.

The engine alternator will keep the battery properly charged when running at cruising speeds.

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 battery,

and (3) in the battery charger manual.

• The battery charger will charge the boat's battery (or batteries) whenever the boat is plugged into 110V/60Hz

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.
