GENERAL
All electrical equipment on the Four Winns® Vista mod-
els operates on either 12 volts DC or 120 volts (220 volts
on 50 Hertz models) AC electrical power. A dual bat-
tery system along with dockside power (including bat-
tery charger) is standard on the 248/268 Vista. Batter-
ies are located in the engine compartment.
DO NOT tamper with any electrical connection,
panel or harness, or attempt installation of any
electrical equipment unless thoroughly familiar
with the systems and experienced in making
such installations.
Circuit breakers are installed on the battery switch to
protect various system components. The SHIP SYS-
TEMS breaker supplies power to all DC electrical com-
ponents except the aft and forward bilge pumps, igni-
tion, and instrumentation. Additional breakers are lo-
cated in the cabin circuit breaker panel. The circuit break-
ers and fuses are labeled for amperage and use.
H - 2 SINGLE ENGINE - DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM
A battery selector switch is installed on the dual battery
system. This allows DC power to be used from either
one or both batteries. Refer to the schematics in the
back of the manual.
