Chapter 4:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

4.1 General

Your Pursuit is equipped with a 12-volt DC electrical system that draws current from on-board

batteries.

The 12-volt batteries in your boat are usually the lead-acid type. They will require maintenance

similar to those found in automobiles. The batteries are located in the stern bilge, below the bench

seat and removable fishbox. The engines must tilted to the full down position before the stern

bench seat can be opened. Make sure the bench seat is properly latched in the up position before

removing the fishbox to access the batteries.

If you find yourself in a situation where the batteries are dead with the engines tilted in the full

up position, the stern seat will have to be removed to access the batteries. This can be done by

releasing the latches on the front of the seat, opening the transom door, removing the ladder,

removing the two pins from the hinges on the rear of seat and lifting the seat off the fishbox. The

seat is heavy and will require two people to safely remove it. Once the seat out of the way, the

fishbox can be removed exposing the batteries.

There are electrical schematics included in this manual to aid in following an individual circuit

of the boat.

4.2 12-Volt System

The 12-volt system is a fairly standard system. There are two batteries controlled by one battery

switch (single engine) or two battery switches (twin engines) . The batteries are charged by the

engine(s). All 12-volt power is distributed to the 12-volt accessories through individual circuit

breakers located in the 12-volt switch panels. A main in-line circuit breaker located near the

battery switch protects the system from an overload. Another circuit breaker near the switch

protects the circuit for the automatic float switch for the bilge pump. Most 12-volt accessories

are operated directly by switches in the helm and accessory switch panels.

PROPER FUSE OR BREAKER PROTECTION MUST BE PROVIDED FOR ALL 12-

VOLT EQUIPMENT ADDED. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE ACCESSORY CIRCUIT

BREAKERS OR OTHER CIRCUITRY THROUGH ADDITIONAL 12-VOLT EQUIP-

MENT.
