ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
H - 1
GENERAL
All electrical equipment on Four Winns® boats operate
on 12 volt DC electrical power.
When disconnecting the cables from the bat-
tery, make sure all switches are off and discon-
nect the black negative cable first to prevent
spark.
Fire or Explosion Hazard!
Electrical system parts are designed by and
manufactured to comply with the U.S. 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 pro-
tection.
NOTICE
DO NOT disconnect the battery while the en-
gine is running. Alternator damage could re-
sult.
Monitor the battery’s condition regularly with the Voltme-
ter in the dash panel. For additional information, refer to
Section H-4 Electrical System Maintenance.
To prevent equipment or electrical wiring dam-
age, DO NOT tamper with any electrical con-
nection, panel or harness, or attempt installa-
tion of any electrical equipment unless thor-
oughly familiar with the systems and are experi-
enced in making such installations.
For detailed information on the electrical system, electri-
cal schematics are located in the back of this manual.

A. Helm Equipment
A single battery is provided as standard equipment (12
volt DC) per Section H-1 above. The dash components
are protected by a fuse panel. The location of this fuse
panel is either in the starboard storage compartment of
the 234/254 Candia FS models or in the head compart-
ment of the 214 Candia FS model. On Outboard mod-
els, a separate in-line fuse is provided at the battery.
Refer to Figure H1 and to the wiring schematics in the
back of this manual.
The ignition, DC outlet, and panel switches are protected
by a separate fuse panel located either in the head (214)
or the starboard storage area (234/254). Descriptions
of individual switches are describe in the following:
To avoid equipment damage or electrical fires,
use only replacement fuses that are of equal
rating to the original fuse. Refer to the electrical
schematic included with this manual for proper
sizes.
When installing the battery, proceed as follows:
1.
Connect the red (positive) cable running from the
engine starter solenoid to the positive (+) battery ter-
minal.
2.
Connect the black (negative) battery cable running
from the engine block to the negative (-) battery ter-
minal.
