9. na v i g a T i o n a n d an C h o r li g h T s

Navigation lights MUST be on while underway from

sunset to sunrise or in conditions of reduced visibility.

“Underway” means the boat is not docked or at anchor.

Trolling or drifting with engine off is considered

“underway” and navigation lights must be used.

If you are anchored in open water, i.e. where other boats

can approach yours, you must display your anchor

light: a white light that can be seen from all possible

directions, i.e. 360 degrees.

Read the “Federal Requirements and Safety Tips for

Recreational Boats” provided in your kit.

The 52 DA has two (2) aluminum fuel tanks with a

capacity of 280 gallons (1,059.8 liters) each, for a total

capacity of 560 gallons (2,119.6 literes). The fuel ll

to draw fuel from either tank, This allows switching to

an alternate tank in case of fuel contamination or for

even fuel weight distribution.

During normal operating conditions set the feed and

return fuel valves to the same tank. Example: If the

feed valve is set to the port tank, set the return to the

port tank. Remember, fuel will be consumed faster in

fuel tank selected for generator use. You might want

to select other fuel tank for generator periodically for

even weight distribution.

The generator crossover fuel board is located in the

cockpit under the forward starboard bench seat.

12. re C o m m e n d e d ba T T e r i e s

The following table describes the recommended

marine cranking batteries to install in your boat. All

batteries should be of the same type, age & rating.

13. fi r e ex T i n g u i s h i n g sy s T e m

The 52 DA is equipped with an automatic fire

extinguisher system located forward of the engines on

the bulkhead. In the event of a re, the heat sensitive

automatic head will release the extinguishant as a vapor,

totally ooding the area in re-killing concentrations.

The system indicator light is wired to the ignition and

is turned ON when the ignition is turned ON.

The system incorporates an engine shutdown switch

with override system.

The indicator light, located on the control station

instrument panel, indicates to the helmsman when the

unit has discharged. Under normal circumstances, when

the engines are operating, the charge indicator light is

lit. If the unit discharges, the charge light will go out

and the discharge light will come on.

14. en T e r T a i n m e n T Ce n T e r s

The entertainment center equipment options may

vary from boat to boat. Refer to the Owner’s Manual

Overview: Your MX-600 has been pre-programmed

to control the functions of the Salon Bose LS-48

entertainment system, as well as the television, satellite

receiver, and VCR. It also has “macro” functions that

allow several commands to be sent with the touch of

one button. The MX-600 sends out IR (line-of-sight)

signals. It also sends out RF signals to its MRF-100 base

station. Using the MRF-100 base station allows full

control of the Bose behind doors.

Note: The television and stereo systems are plugged

into a surge suppression power strip located behind

the entertainment center.

Note: The power source and breaker protection for the

stereo memory is on the main DC breaker panel in the

engine room. Power to stereo memory is maintained

even if the battery switch is o.
