5.1.2 Fuses

The front cabin fuse panel on your boat contains separate fuses for the 12 V battery power and for the 110 V or 230 V shore power.

Risk of short circuit, overcurrent and damage to the equipment.

Make sure the amperage of the connected appliances does not exceed the amperage marked on the fuse.

Make sure the equipment and appliances on your boat are intact and properly connected.

  • The 12 V fuses are connected to the different equipment and functions on your boat, such as lights, side terraces, radar, autopilot and water pumps.

  • The main supply fuses are connected to the fridges and batteries.

  • The priority fuses are connected to the priority equipment: bilge pump, fire protection and navigation lights. These systems require constant power supply. The systems stay on even when you switch off the power supply to the other equipment from the battery control panel when you leave the boat unattended.

    The smoke detector and the carbon monoxide detector have their own batteries as a backup in case of a power failure.
  • The direct supply fuses have several different functions:

    • Fuses D_F3 and DF_4 serve as the fuse and the main switch to the heater

    • Fuse D_F2 serves as the main fuse for the priority equipment that require constant power supply

    • Fuse D_F1 is a spare fuse for optional, additional equipment that requires constant power supply

  • The shore power 110 V or 230 V fuses are connected to the battery charger, inverter, power outlets, electrical cooktop and air-conditioner unit. In addition, the shore power fuses protect these devices from an overcurrent fault.
