As with any fuel burning engine, Carbon Monoxide
is a concern. Read the Boating Safety section of
this manual, and educate yourself about Carbon
Monoxide poisoning. It could mean the difference in
your life and the life of your loved ones.
The generator is comprised of a fuel supply, return, and
an exhaust system. The fuel supply is comprised of a
supply valve, supply hose, and a fuel filter, along with the
return hose, and electric fuel pump.
The exhaust system is made up of an exhaust hose, a
muffler, and the exhaust outlet. See your Mechanical
Arrangement Illustrations for locations of these compo-
nents. They can be found at the end of each pertinent
section, or at the end of this section. The entire AC sys-
tem will be laid out in an illustration showing locations for
each of the components.
The fuel supply components will be described in greater
detail in the Fuel Section and the exhaust will be described
in the Waste and Sanitary Section of this manual.
8.1.7 Breakers, Switches, and Fuses
All electrical systems aboard your boat are provided with
over-current protection in the form of breakers or fuses.
Examples of breakers are the system or component con-
trols at the Main Distribution Panel, or MDP Systems that
would normally require you to energize them for use and
are provided with switches.
The breaker and switch panels are detailed further in the
end of this section under "Legends."
8.1.9 Outlets and GFI Components
The outlets aboard your boat are for AC electrical con-
nections to supply power to your AC accessories. They
are just like your outlets in your home and supply 110 volt
(220 volt overseas) AC power.
There are 2 required GFI outlets aboard your boat. One
is in the galley, one at the Nav station. Though there are
several other outlets, they are wired in the circuit of an
existing GFI. The other outlet such as the one that sup-
plies power to your microwave receives power from the
MDP and breaker protected at that point. These are usu-
ally placed behind cabinets or the components that they
supply power to and aren't visible.
Hunter 41 • AC Electric Systems
Though the outlets are a system or a component such
!
as in the next subject, we have placed the descriptions
in the Power Supply subject due to the purpose of their
installation.
As with the DC System, there are several AC powered
systems or components aboard your boat. Here we will
break those down for you with a function and description
of each one. Later in the Operations and Maintenance
section, we will describe the use or operation of these
systems or components.

8.2 Systems and Components.

8.2.1 Battery Charger
The battery charger (Fig. 7.3) can be located by review-
ing your power supply components illustration in the
beginning of the DC Electric section. The charger is pro-
tected by a fuse on the positive and ground side at the
charger (Fig. 7.3).
The circuit breakers for the battery chargers are located
on the Main Distribution Panel (MDP).
8.2.2 Water Heater
Be certain the water heater is full of water and does
ter, damage to the heating elements may result when
The water heater use and function is described in the
Water Systems Section. Here we will detail the electrical
side of the heater.
The water heater is powered by the AC MDP. It is much
