The electrical system in this boat is quite simple. The battery installs under the aft, port settee. The main electrical panel is at the aft end of the port wall of the cabin. It consists of four circuits; radio, running lights, cabin lights, and the steaming light.

The radio is located above the electrical panel. The antenna is mounted at the top of the mast.

The running lights (sailing) are mounted aft on the sides of the cabin and the stern light on the top edge of the transom.

There are three cabin lights. Two in the main cabin and one forward.

The steaming light is located about two thirds of the way up the mast.
