Electrical System
If your 230BR is installed with an optional canvas T-Top or Fiberglass Hardtop, it will be rigged with spreader lights and additional courtesy lights.
Optional T-Top/Hardtop
These lights are controlled by switches located on the port side of the electronics box. A Fuse block with ATC fuses is installed inside the
electronics box to provide overcurrent protection. Power is supplied to T-Top/Hardtop accessories via a single red wire that is connected to the
50amp house breaker inside the console. It connects to the fuse block where power is than distributed to the T-Top/Hardtop accessories through
their respective fuses. All T-Top/Hardtop accessories are grounded to a grounding post on the fuse block that is connected directly to a ground on
one of the two batteries via a single black wire.
As an option, a battery charger can be installed that will charge one or both batteries, depending on the battery installation. The battery charger
Battery Charger
converts AC power into DC power that is used to charge the batteries. The charger is powered by a plug on the console that receives a standard
110V plug from the female end of a 110V extension chord. It allows you to plug the boat into a regular 110V outlet. Please consult the battery
charger's manual before using your charger for the first time. If the optional Battery selector switch is installed, it does not need to be on to direct
the charge from the battery charger.
The 230BR comes from the factory pre-rigged with a trolling motor harness so you can add a trolling motor at any time. If you choose to, a 24V or
Trolling Motor Packages
36V trolling motor can be installed at the factory. Both packages come with a battery charger that will charge the trolling motor batteries. 24V
trolling motors will be rigged with two batteries in series that are located inside the console. 36V trolling motors will be rigged with three
batteries in series. Two will be located in the console and the third located in the port transom storage box. A circuit breaker is installed in the
console that allows you to disconnect the batteries from the trolling motor harness whenever the boat is stored or the trolling motor is not being
used. The trolling motor harness features a plug and receptacle located in the bow. To use your trolling motor, insert the plug into the receptacle
and make sure the trolling motor circuit breaker is closed. The trolling motor's electrical system is completely isolated from the 12V House and
engine systems. The charging system on the engine is not designed to charge the trolling motor batteries. The trolling motor batteries can only be
charged via the battery charger that comes with the trolling motor package. If you anticipate using your trolling motor, fully charge the batteries
before each use. Low voltage in any of the two or three batteries will cause the motor to not function properly. Please see "Dealer Installed
Equipment" section on next page for further information regarding battery installation.
