OS 385

Electrical Systems

4.1 General

Your Pursuit boat is equipped with DC and

AC electrical systems. The DC system

draws current from onboard batteries. The

AC system can draw current from either

shore power outlets at dockside or the gen-

erator.

Electrical schematics are included in this

manual to assist technicians in the servicing

the electrical systems. Pursuit recommends

you take your boat to an authorized Pursuit

dealer for service or installation of additional

electrical equipment. Pursuit reserves the

right to modify or update the electrical sys-

tem at any time without notice to the con-

sumer or obligation to make updates to

boats built prior to the change.

Some compartments on your boat may be

lighted. Lights bulbs produce heat and can

ignite combustible products. Turn off all light-

ing before you leave the boat.

4.2 DC System

Batteries

The 12-volt batteries have been selected to

provide optimum performance for engine

starting, and house and electronics loads.

There are 7 batteries; 3 Group 27 lead acid

for the engines located in the port cockpit

compartment and 3 Group 31 AGM for

house and electronics located in the star-

board cockpit compartment, and a Group 31

AGM for the bow thruster located under the

forward berth. The AGM batteries are main-

tenance free. A circuit breaker on each

engine protects the engine ignition systems

and gauges. Refer to the engine owner's

manual for information on the circuit break-

ers installed on your engines.

DC Distribution

The 12-volt DC system batteries are

charged by the engine charging system or

the battery charger when connected to

shore power or when operating the genera-

tor. 12-volt power is distributed to the battery

switches and breakers on the Main Distribu-

tion Panel (MDP) (located at the end of the

L-lounge) that protect the switch panels on

the helm and in the cabin. The battery volt-

age for the house and electronics batteries

is monitored using the volt meters on the

MDP. The engine battery voltage is moni-

tored on the respective tachometer.

The circuit breaker on each engine protects

the engine ignition systems and gauges.

Refer to the engine owner's manual for infor-

mation on your engines.

! WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Ignited combustible products can

cause fire or explosion, resulting in

death or serious injury. DO NOT store

combustibles near lights and turn off

all lighting before leaving the boat.
