Connecting options:

The boat is fitted with a bilge pump as standard. Further accessories may be added subject to certain
conditions:
 The accessories that you wish to add will need to be connected at the console level.
 The accessories come in two categories:
A  accessories that are or may be used continuously during normal boat operation,
B  accessories that are used intermittently.

You can connect optional equipment directly to the positive and negative busbars in the console (up
to the maximum power limit), by inserting an approved fuse holder.
NOTE: If you have a number of electrical devices installed, the instantaneous power consumption may
possibly exceed the charge capacity of your outboard motor.
The electrical wiring loom can accept an instantaneous power consumption of 570W (including
navigation lights and the bilge pump), or a little under 48A in current terms. Current outboard motor
alternators generally supply 15A at full power. Please refer to the technical documentation for your
outboard motor. You should therefore avoid prolonged use of these devices to avoid draining your
battery and being unable to restart the engine.

336W max.

Always ensure that the sum of the power requirements of the
accessories in column A that you are adding does not exceed 336W
(28A) AND that the maximum power of an accessory in column B does

The cross sections of the various wires in the wiring loom have been
calculated using these values. Failure to comply with this rule may
cause electrical failures and short circuits.
