When.installing.dual.batteries,.proceed.as.follows:
Battery.#1.is.isolated.and.remains.in.reserve...
Only.battery.#2.will.be.charged.by.the.alternator.
1..
Connect.each.of.the.red.battery.cables.leading.
from.the.battery.selector.switch.to.the.positive..
“BOTH”.-.With.the.battery.selector.switch.in.the.
“BOTH”.position,.the.batteries.are.connected.in.
parallel..Both.batteries.will.be.used.by.the.engine.
and.all.12.volt.equipment..Both.batteries.will.be.
charged.by.the.alternator..However,.the.batteries..
will.charge.at.a.slower.rate.compared.to.setting..
the.switch.in.the.other.positions.
(
+).terminal.on.each.of.the.two.batteries.
NOTICE
Be sure both cables are installed on the
positive (+) battery terminals.
2..
Connect.the.black.battery.cable.to.the.port.nega-
tive.(-).battery.terminal.(see.Figure.H-2.above)..
Connect.the.other.black.battery.cable.to.the.
starboard.negative.(-).battery.terminal..
The.use.of.one.battery.at.a.time.is.recommended...
Position.the.battery.selector.switch.to.either.the.#1..
or.#2.position..
Under.normal.conditions,.avoid.using.the.“BOTH”.
position..Use.the.“BOTH”.position.only.when.a.single.
battery.is.not.capable.of.starting.the.engine.
When disconnecting the cables from the
battery, make sure all switches are off and
disconnect 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.“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.using.the.“BOTH”.position).
will.supply.a.greater.charge.to.the.battery.
Dual.batteries.with.a.selector.switch.is.optional.on.
certain.models.only..Power.to.the.engine.and.all.12.
volt.electrical.equipment.with.the.exception.of.the.
automatic.bilge.pump.is.controlled.by.the.battery.
selector.switch...See.Figure.H-2...
Dual.battery.selector.switch.positions:
“OFF”.-.With.the.battery.selector.switch.in.the.“OFF”..
position,.all.12.volt.power.to.the.boat.is.shut.off.
completely.except.to.the.automatic.bilge.pump..A.
separate.fuse.is.provided.on.the.battery.switch.panel.
for.the.automatic.bilge.pump..Always.turn.the.battery.
selector.switch.to.the.“OFF”.position.when.the.boat..
is.removed.from.the.water..
FOR.EXAMPLE:.If.battery.#1.is.fully.charged.and.
battery.#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.
NOTICE
H - 3 12 VOLT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
A. Helm Equipment
DO NOT turn the battery selector switch to
the “OFF” position while the engine is running.
Alternator and wiring damage could result.
The.ignition,.DC.outlet,.and.panel.switches.are..
protected.by.a.separate.fuse.panel.located.under-
neath.the.helm.console..Access.to.the.fuse.panel..
may.be.gained.by.going.underneath.the.helm.console..
Descriptions.of.individual.switches.are.describe.in..
the.following:
“1”.-.Turning.the.switch.to.position.“1”.will.use.battery.
#1.to.power.the.engine.and.12.volt.equipment..Battery.
#2.will.be.isolated.and.remain.in.reserve..Only.battery.
#1.will.be.charged.by.the.alternator..
“2”.-.Turning.the.switch.to.position.“2”.will.use.battery.
#2.to.power.the.engine.and.12.volt.equipment..
