Under normal conditions, avoid using the “ALL” position.
Use the “ALL” position only when a single battery is not
capable of starting the engine.
When disconnecting the cables from the bat-
tery, make sure all switches are off and discon-
nect the black negative cable(s) first to prevent
spark.
Four Winns recommends alternating between batteries
during boating. Depending upon boating use, this may
increase battery longevity . Use battery #1 for the first
day of a cruise and switch to battery #2 on the second
day.
C. Battery Switch Operation
Position the battery selector switch to the battery that
has sufficient power to start the engine (normally position
Power to the engine and all 12 volt electrical equipment
(except the automatic bilge pump) is controlled by the
battery selector switch. See Figure H2.
“1”).
After the engine is running, turn the battery selector
switch to the battery that has the lowest charge. This will
allow the alternator to charge the low battery. Utilizing
the battery selector switch in this manner (instead of us-
ing the “ALL” position) will supply a greater charge to the
battery.
Battery selector switch positions for the Funships™
equipped with this option are as follows:
“OFF” - With the battery selector switch in the “OFF”
position, all 12 volt power to the boat is shut off com-
pletely except to the automatic bilge pump. A separate
fuse is provided on the battery switch panel for the auto-
maticbilgepump. Alwaysturnthebatteryselectorswitch
to the “OFF” position when the boat is removed from the
water.
FOR EXAMPLE: If battery #1 is fully charged and bat-
tery #2 is in need of a charge, use battery #1 to start the
engine. After the engine is running and warmed-up, turn
the battery selector switch to the #2 position. This will
permit the alternator to charge the low, #2 battery.
