I bought a used R27 and the labels for the breaker panel fell off. I put them on the way they are shown in the manual, but the manual panel is not the same shape.
Yesterday my house batter ran dead, on shore power. What are the top left most breakers with the blocking tabs? Which breaker runs the battery charger?
Can somebody take a picture and post it?
I am missing entirely 4 labels.
 
Unfortunately one of the middle top is the battery charger. Since leaving it on for 8 hours exploded an AGM battery image.jpg
 
Leaving the battery charger ON while on shore power is a common procedure. You should not have to manually switch the battery charger ON/OFF. If the damage to the battery shown was caused by charging, then the problem is with your battery charger. It is either defective or is not set properly for the battery chemistry it is charging.

Here's what your factory panel should look like. Your battery expanding/exploding like that.. was probably at its end of life and needed to be replaced. With a used boat, it's really difficult to tell how the previous batteries were taken care of. With AGM batteries, all it would take is a single occurrence of running them down well below 40% SOC, to sulfate and ruin them.

Thanks so much. I definitely ran them dead, because I thought I turned on the battery charger, but I had turned on the starboard outlets
