Volt Electrical System Shutdown Procedures; 220) Volt Electrical System - Four winns 248 Vista Owner's Manual

Pressure Water - A pressure water pump delivers
water to the faucets, shower, and transom washdown.
Depending on the model, the pressure water pump will
operate automatically as long as the FRESH WATER
breaker or FRESH WATER switch is "ON". Depending
upon the model the fresh water pump is protected by
either a circuit breaker on the cabin DC panel or by a
fuse in the fuse panel.
Turn the FRESH WATER switch "OFF" when the water
tank becomes empty, or when water will not be required
for an extended period. Depending on the model,
tank monitoring systems are available to check water
levels. Refer to Section J-1 and J-2 in this manual for
additional information.
Cockpit Refrigerator (Optional - specified models only)
- A circuit breaker is provided on the DC cabin panel.
The refrigerator has a separate "ON/OFF" switch. Refer
to Section L-2 in this manual and to the manufacturer's
literature for additional information.
Stereo - The stereo has a separate switch on the unit
and is protected by either a circuit breaker labeled STE-
REO on the 12 volt cabin panel or by a fuse located in
the fuse panel depending upon the model.
Sump Pump - A sump pump is used to discharge wa-
ter from the shower and sink drains overboard. It is
installed on all Vista™ models. The sump pump has
a float switch which will activate the pump when the
water level rises in the sump. This pump is protected
by the SHOWER SUMP PUMP circuit breaker located
in the 12 volt cabin panel or by a fuse located in the
fuse panel again depending upon the model.
If the boat is equipped with a grey water system, the
water from the shower and sinks is pumped into a hold-
ing tank instead of overboard.

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
When leaving your boat unattended for an extended
period of time it is advisable to shutdown the electrical
system to reduce battery drainage and/or possible elec-
trical draw. The procedures are general reference only
and are listed below. Procedures may vary depending
on the Vista™ model.
Vista™ Owner's Manual
To shutdown:
1. Turn the battery switch(s) to the "OFF" position.
2. If your battery switch has a SHIP SYSTEMS cir-
cuit
"OFF" position.
3. If your Vista™ has an AC/DC panel in the cabin,
switch the 12VDC SYSTEM MAIN circuit breaker
H - 10 120 (220) VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The boat may be equipped with 30 amp, 120 volt, 60
Hertz (or 15 amp, 220 volt, 50 Hertz) AC electrical
wiring. Depending on the model and when the boat
is connected to a shore power outlet, the AC system
supplies electrical power to the following items: battery
charger, refrigerator, water heater, range, microwave,
cockpit icemaker or cockpit refrigerator, outlets, and air
conditioning. The dockside system uses three-wire,
color-coded circuitry. The black or hot wire is the un-
grounded current carrying conductor. The white or
neutral wire is the grounded current carrying conductor.
The green wire, referred to as the "equipment ground,"
is a grounded conductor, and under normal conditions
is not a current carrying wire. The neutral wires are
connected together at a buss bar. The equipment
grounds are similarly connected together at another
buss bar. Each hot wire is connected to, and protect-
ed by, a circuit breaker in the distribution box located
at the top section of the AC/DC main panel or the AC
panel depending on the model.
The standard dockside system has a main circuit
breaker which protects the overall distribution network.
Depending on the Vista™ model, MAIN dockside
inlet(s) are located either in the aft transom storage tub
or on port side of the deck. Certain Vista™ models have
MAIN circuit breakers on the AC/DC cabin panel. Other
SYSTEM
Vista™ models have a single MAIN breaker located
on the AC cabin panel. The MAIN breaker(s) must be
turned "ON" and the boat must be connected either to
shore power or generator running (if applicable) for AC
system operation. The MAIN circuit breaker(s) protects
both the hot and neutral input leads. This breaker is
sensitive. The resulting power surge which occurs
when connecting the shore power cord may cause the
MAIN breaker(s) to trip. To avoid this power spike, turn
off the MAIN breaker(s) before plugging in the shore
power cord. Securely connect the power inlet of the
boat and the shore power receptacle. Once the shore
™
breaker switch, move the switch to the
to the "OFF" position.
