ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS:
The Marine Power System incorporates two separate electrical systems. DC Voltage is used to
start the engine and supply current to engine components such as switches, gauges, and battery charging
circuit. The engines DC wiring harness and control box is factory installed, all that is necessary for
operation is to connect to a 12V DC battery and connect the wiring to the optional remote gauge panel.
The generator end of the unit produces the AC Voltage used throughout the vessel. Follow the vessel
manufacturers’ recommendations for wiring your generator into the AC circuits of the vessel. Ensure the
proper voltage and ground connections are made and all wiring is safely harnessed and secured. A Ship
to Shore transfer switch will enable your vessel to operate on generator output power or connect to
utility shore power when available. The Ship to Shore transfer switch also prevents the simultaneous
connection between utility shore power and the generators output.
IMPORTANT: A hazardous situation may occur if utility shore power and generator output power are
connected simultaneously. Dangerous back feeding of AC Voltage can cause serious damage and/or
injury. Damages resulting from back feeding, improper wiring or faulty components are the
responsibility of the installer and are not warrantable issues.
OTHER IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
A few components of the seawater cooling system that need regular attention are the seawater
pump impeller and the Zinc Anode. The seawater pump impeller is made of neoprene and should never
be run dry. Impeller failure may occur due to lack of water or age. It is advisable to have on hand a spare
impeller and gasket should a failure occur. If the impeller breaks apart, be sure to locate and remove all
fragments from the system.
The heat exchanger in the seawater cooling system has provisions for a Zinc Anode. The purpose
of this Zinc Anode is to sacrifice itself to electrolysis action within the system thereby reducing the
effects of electrolysis on the other components in the system. The Zinc Anode should be inspected on a
monthly basis, cleaned and/or replaced as required. Be sure to clean any anode debris from the area
inside the heat exchanger. It is advisable to have a few spare Zinc Anodes on hand.
Maintain the 12V DC charging system in good working order. Make sure the battery is securely
mounted and well ventilated. Regularly check the battery and terminal connections. Clean and tighten as
required. Maintain the recommended electrolyte level.
WARNING: Take all necessary precautions when handling and servicing batteries. Protect your eyes
and skin from acid splash. Never smoke or allow an open flame near batteries since they emit highly
explosive gas.
