Fire or Explosion Hazard!
Electrical system parts are designed and
manufactured to comply with the US Coast
Guard requirements to minimize risks of fire
or explosion. Never substitute automotive
parts for marine parts. Automotive parts do
not provide the necessary ignition spark
protection.
DO NOT tamper with any electrical con nection,
panel or harness, or attempt installation of any
electrical equipment unless thoroughly familiar
with the sys tems and experi enced in making
such instal lations.
On SL models equipped with dual batteries and a
battery switch, the boat has a designated battery for
the ship's systems and for the engine Circuit breakers
are installed on the panel to protect various system
com ponent circuitry. The SHIP SYSTEMS breaker
supplies power to all DC electrical com ponents with the
exceptions of aft bilge pump, stereo memory, exhaust,
and stereo amplifiers. The circuit breakers and fuses
are labeled for amperage and use. See Figures H2 &
H3.

NOTICE
Listed on the battery switch panel are various
labels for the circuit breakers protecting
different components. A particular label does
not necessarily mean your boat is equipped
with this component if either the component is
optional or not available to that particular
model. Please see your Four Winns dealer for
details.
