H - 7 240/120 (230V 50Hz) VOLT ELECTRI-
CAL SYSTEM
The boat is equipped with 50 amp, 240/120 volt, 60
Hertz AC electri cal wiring. Note: On domestic models
the 240 volts AC supplied is first split to two (2) - 120
volt AC circuits. The exception being the air condi-
tioner which remains at 240VAC. When the boat is
connected to a shore power outlet and the respective
circuit breaker(s) is ON, the AC system supplies
240/120 volt (230 volt 50Hz - export) electri cal power
to the following items: cockpit refrigerator, icemaker,
grill, battery charger, water heater, cockpit TV, galley
refrigerator, washer/dryer, range, microwave, vacuum,
and/or various outlets. See Figure H4.
NOTICE
Listed on 240VAC 60Hz cabin electrical panel
are various labels for the circuit breakers
protecting different component circuitry. A
particular label does not necessarily mean your
boat is equipped with this component if the
component is optional. Please see your Four
Winns dealer for details.
The dockside system uses four-wire, color-cod ed
circuitry. The black and red or hot wires are the
un grounded current carrying conductors. The white or
neutral wire is the grounded current carrying conduc-
tor. The green wire, referred to as the “equipment
ground,” is a grounded conductor, and under normal
conditions is not a current carrying wire. The neutral
wires are connected together at a buss bar. The
equipment grounds are similarly connect ed together
at another buss bar. Each hot wire is connected to,
and protect ed by, a circuit breaker in the distribu tion
box located at the top section of the AC cabin panel
identified “240VAC 60Hz”.
The standard dockside system has a main circuit
breaker which protects the overall distribution network.
The MAIN dockside inlet with Cablemaster shore
power cable storage system is located at the star-
board side of the aft transom. The switch which
extends or retracts the Cablemaster shore power
cable is located inside the transom storage locker.
See Figure H18 & H19.

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
When leaving your boat unattended for an ex tend ed
period of time it is advisable to shutdown the electrical
system to reduce battery drainage and/or possible
electrical draw.
To shutdown:
1. On the 12VDC cabin panel, turn the HELM MAIN
and CABIN MAIN circuit breaker switches to the
OFF position (“red” LED’s are unlit). See Figure
H16.
Figure H16: Helm & Cabin Main Circuit Breakers - OFF
2. Depress and release the battery activation switch-
es to the OFF position. The “green” LEDs are no
longer lit indicating the batteries are not active.
See Figure H17.
