The main switches allow the batteries to be disconnected from all devices that consume electricity. When the main switches are in the On position, the current is conducted to the distribution board and from there to different parts of the boat.

The background color of the main switch and the text On shows that the electronic circuit is switched on, and when the circuit is switched off, the background color is red and the text says Off.

When you leave your boat for any length of time, switch the current off from all main switches and devices but leave the direct supply switches on.

The base drawing of the boat’s electrical system is presented in Appendix II. The main switch is located under after seat. In the main switch panel are direct supply switches for critical equipment and main switches for the start batteries, the service battery and the Aux battery.

Current feed to the engine is achieved by turning the Start switch to the On position, feed to other equipment is achieved by turning the Service switch to the On position and feed to the bow thruster and windlasses is achieved by turning the Aux switch to the On position.
