CAUTION
SHOCK and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
When the engine is running, NEVER turn Off the battery switch or disconnect the bat-
tery cables. Doing either could cause damage to your boat’s engine and/or electrical
system components.

Standby-loads, such as the automatic bilge pumps
and the stereo memory, are not affected by the battery
switch since they are wired directly to the batteries
(see the Wiring Diagrams section of this chapter for
more details).
Turn the battery switch to the Off position whenever
your boat will be unoccupied for long periods of time.
