5.1.6 Generator replacement system

The optional generator replacement system gives you extended use of 110 V or 230 V power to run the electrical appliances and equipment on your boat when you have no access to shore power.

The generator replacement system is located in the aft technical compartment. The system consists of a high-capacity 500 Ah battery pack (can be expanded to 1000 Ah) and a charger / inverter unit. Depending on your choice of equipment, the optional solar panel and shore power can be used to charge the battery pack of the system.

You can monitor the charge level of the battery pack and the status of the generator replacement system with the CZone application on the chartplotter.

It is important to monitor the charge level. If the charge level of the battery pack of the generator replacement system runs too low, or if there is a fault in the system, the system shuts itself down automatically. When shutting down, the safety relay switch of the battery pack switches automatically to the OFF position and the 110 V and 230 V equipment turn off.

Check the manufacturer’s manuals for details of the components of the generator replacement system.
