<strong>Hunter</strong> <strong>27</strong> • DC Electric<br />

To operate the charger, ensure that it is operating:<br />

1. Connect the shore power dockside supply shore<br />

power inlet on the stern of the boat on the port side.<br />

2. Turn on AC Main breaker.<br />

3. Turn on the Battery Charger breaker.<br />

7.2.4 12 Volt DC Panel<br />

7.2.6 Water Systems<br />

The water systems are outlined in the Water Systems<br />

chapter in this manual. However, the controls for this<br />

system are powered by the DC Electrical system.<br />

7.3 System Components and Operation<br />

The largest part of your controls are on the 12 Volt DC<br />

Panel, we will run down the systems and components as<br />

they are listed on the Panel. From there, we will look at<br />

the helm controls.<br />

7.3.1 DC Main<br />

In order to energize the DC system aboard your boat, you<br />

must turn the breaker marked “DC Main”, on the battery<br />

switch panel, to the “ON” position. This supplies power to<br />

the remaining breakers and systems on the DC Panel.<br />

7.3.1.1 To operate the 12 Volt DC System:<br />

1. Switch the main battery switch in aft cabin to 1 or 2<br />

position.<br />

2. Switch the DC main circuit breaker at battery switch<br />

panel to ON.<br />

3. Switch on relevant switches at the MDP.<br />

Note: Always switch circuit breakers off when you leave your<br />

boat unattended.<br />

7.3.2 Lighting Systems<br />

Figure 7.2<br />

You can view the DC components controlled by the DC<br />

control panel here (Fig. 7.2). Indicator lights are built into<br />

most switches and alert you that the selected system is<br />

powered.<br />

7.2.5 Breakers, Switches, and Fuses<br />

All electrical systems aboard your boat are provided with<br />

over-current protection in the form of breakers or fuses.<br />

Examples of breakers are the system or component controls<br />

at the 12 Volt Panel, or in the battery selector switch<br />

panel. Systems that would normally require you to energize<br />

them for use are provided with switches.<br />

There are basically two different lighting systems aboard<br />

your boat. These are the interior (Cabin) and navigational<br />

lighting.<br />

The navigational lighting, closely follows Coast Guard<br />

regulations. They are as follows:<br />

•<br />

•<br />

•<br />

Nav Lights<br />

Steaming Light<br />

Mast Light<br />

The red and green lights on the bow rail and the white<br />

facing light on the transom are known as “Nav Lights”.<br />

These lights should always be on when motoring.<br />

The “steaming” light is the forward facing light mounted at<br />
