Battery Switch Operation - Four winns V Series Owner's Manual

Figure H7: Dual Switch Battery Panel
(Certain Models Only)
On certain models the switches to activate the respec-
tive batteries and supply 12 volt power to related
engine and/or ship's systems (HOUSE) equipment are
located on the "Power Management Center" panel or
"12VDC" cabin panel. See Figures H8 & H9. These
types of switches are toggle switches. A LED light
may be installed. If so, it will light up thus indicating
that the switch is in the "ON' position.
C. Battery Switch Operation
The battery selector switch positions for the dual
switch battery panel, "Power Management Center"
panel or 12VDC cabin panel are as follows:
"OFF" - With the battery selector switches in the "OFF"
position and the "SHIPS SYSTEMS" circuit breaker in
the "OFF" position (if applicable), all 12 volt power to
the boat is shut off except to the fore and aft automatic
bilge pumps, stereo memory, and ship's systems.
Depending on the model the exhaust, hatch (electric
lift) and windlass (if installed) may also have power
even with the battery switches in the "OFF" position.
Always turn the battery selector switches and the
SHIPS SYSTEMS" circuit breaker switch (if appli-
cable) to the "OFF" position when the boat is
unattend ed for an extended period.
Electrical Systems - Section H
NOTICE
Twelve volt power to the cabin panel is supplied
by the "SHIPS SYSTEMS" circuit breaker
switch on the battery selector panel. On models
using this breaker switch, it must be turned on
to operate any 12 volt accessories on the cabin
panel. The bilge pumps, stereo and windlass
receive power from the ships system battery
and remain on at all time regardless of battery
selec tor or ship systems switch position.
NOTICE
DO NOT turn the battery selector switch to the
"OFF" position while its corresponding engine is
running. Alternator and wiring damage could
result.
Port Engine Battery Switch:
"ON" - Turning the switch to position "ON" will use the
port engine battery to power the port engine and 12
volt engine related equipment. The ship's system
battery will not be used for any engine related equip-
ment. It will power all other 12 volt equipment on the
boat when the associated switch (breaker or toggle) is
placed in the "ON' position. The isolator will allow any
alternator to charge all three batteries. "ON" is the
recommended switch position for normal boat opera-
tion. This position allows maximum use of 12 volt
equipment on the boat.
Starboard Engine Battery Switch:
"ON" - Turning the switch to position "ON" will use the
stbd engine battery to power the stbd engine and 12
volt engine related equipment. The ship's system
battery will not be used for any engine related equip-
ment. It will power all other 12 volt equipment on the
boat when the associated switch (breaker or toggle) is
placed in the "ON' position. The isolator will allow any
alternator to charge all three batteries. "ON" is the
recommended switch position for normal boat opera-
tion. This position allows maximum use of 12 volt
equipment on the boat.
Emergency Engine Start Procedures:
If one of the designated engine batteries fails to start its
respective engine, turn the "EMERGENCY START" or
"BATTERY PARALLEL" switch to "ON" at the helm and
attempt to start the engine. Current is drawn from the
other batteries to start the engine. Once engine has been
started return the "EMERGENCY START" or "BATTERY
