ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

4.1 General

Your Pursuit is equipped with a 12-volt D.C. electrical system that draws current from onboard

batteries.

The 12-volt system is a fairly standard system. 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 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.

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

to those found in automobiles. The batteries are located in the stern bilge. The starboard battery

is located near the battery switches and the port battery is below the removable stern tackle locker.

To access the port battery, remove the top tackle locker drawer and remove the quick release pin,

then slide the locker out of the frame.

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

of the boat.

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.

4.2 Batteries

Pursuit electrical systems are designed to use lead-acid type batteries. Your boat has provision

for two batteries. These batteries should be of the size and capacity recommended by the

manufacturer of your engine. See the engine owner's manual. These specifications should be

considered to be the minimum size battery required. Consider increasing the capacity of the

battery if you will be trolling, drift fishing or have extensive electronics on board. Larger batteries

will give you additional capacity to operate the livewell, washdown, and electronics at low speed

when the charging system output of the engines is minimal.
