Chapter 11: Electrical System

EXTREME FIRE, SHOCK & EXPLOSION HAZARD!

• To minimize the risks of fire and explosion, NEVER install knife switches or other arcing

devices in the fuel compartments.

• NEVER substitute automotive parts for marine parts. Electrical, ignition and fuel system

parts were designed and manufactured to comply with rules and regulations that minimize

risks of fire and explosion.

• Do NOT modify the electrical systems or relevant drawings.

• Have qualified personnel install batteries and/or perform electrical system maintenance.

• Make sure that all battery switches are turned Off before performing any work in the

engine spaces.

DANGER!

FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD!

• Fuel fumes are heavier than air and will collect in the bilge areas where they can be

accidently ignited.

• Visually and by smell (sniff test), check the engine and fuel compartments for fumes or

accumulation of fuel.

• ALWAYS run the bilge blower(s) for at least four minutes prior to engine starting, electrical

system maintenance or activation of electrical devices.

• NEVER expose the batteries to open flame or sparks, and NEVER smoke anywhere near

the batteries.

WARNING!

SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

When the engine is running, NEVER disconnect the battery cables. Doing so could

cause damage to your boat’s engine and/or electrical system.

CAUTION

Electrical connections are prone to corrosion. To reduce corrosion caused electrical problems,

keep all electrical connections clean and apply a spray-on protectant that is designed to protect

connections from corrosion.
