ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

4.1 General

Your Pursuit is equipped with AC and 12-volt DC electrical systems. The AC system can draw current from

one of two sources, either shore power outlets at dockside or the optional generator. The DC system draws

current from on-board batteries.

The Group 31, 12-volt batteries provided in your boat are of the lead-acid type. They will require periodic

maintenance. The batteries are located in compartments under the port and starboard cockpit steps. The engine

batteries are located on the starboard side; the house and the electronics are located on the port side.

There are electrical schematics included in this manual to assist with servicing the electrical systems.

COMPARTMENTS ON A PURSUIT BOAT MAY BE LIGHTED FOR NIGHT USE. LIGHT

BULBS GENERATE HEAT AND CAN IGNITE ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES CAUSING A

FIRE. DO NOT PLACE OR STORE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN CONTACT WITH

LIGHT BULBS. TURN OFF ALL LIGHTING PRIOR TO LEAVING THE BOAT.

4.2 12-Volt DC System

There are four batteries, one for starting each engine, a house battery and a separate battery for electronics.

All batteries can be charged by the engine or by the battery charger when connected to shore power. An

automatic voltage control system manages charging of the batteries whenever the engine is running. The

battery condition can be monitored by a DC voltmeter switch panel located on the cabin DC breaker.

Twelve-volt power is distributed to the 12-volt accessories through individual circuit breakers on the helm

and cabin circuit breaker panels. Main breakers located on the battery switch panel protect these panels. Other

circuit breakers on the module protect the circuits for the optional windlass, high amperage components, the

stereo memory and the automatic float switches for the aft and mid bilge pumps. Circuit protection is located

on each engine to protect the engine ignition systems and gauges.

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 EQUIPMENT.

4.3 DC Distribution System

The battery switches are part of an integrated DC power distribution system that contains several components.

This panel is made up of battery switches, voltage sensitive relays (VSR) and the 12-volt power distribution

breakers. Access to the battery switch panel is through a hatch located on the aft side of the cockpit

entertainment center.
