Hi all,
I have a 2006 Beneteau 473. I'm looking to create a simple electircal schematic. I've been searching this forum and have seen many of these type drawings for other Beneteau boats. I will likely need to trace this out on my own but thought I would check once here to see if anyone has done one already. I've had the boat almost 2 full seasons now and it is time to get a more in depth understanding of the systems. In the Navy we used these simple drawings to help us run the plant (I can still draw the schematic for an S5W power plant). Unfortuantely Beneteau does not supply these in the owners manual.
My system is a bit different from most of the systems I have seen here. It is a "stock" set up meaning that this is the system that was commissioned with the boat and neither myself nor the previous owner have made changes. I'm not looking to make changes. Just want to understand how it is put together.
I have 5 battery switches. One is the negative (Black Switch). First red switch is the Group 27 diesel start, second red is the house bank (4 6 volt US battery deep cycles), the third is the inverter battery (2 6 volt US battery deep cycle), and the fourth is the Genset start Group 27.
I have a Freedom 20 charger / inverter and a link 1000 controller. And use the echo charge function. Temp compensation also used. 2 30 amp shore power in with 2 AC panels (manual transfer switch), 1 DC panel and a Westerbeke Genset. 80 Amp alternator on diesel.
Again, I have not seen this set up referred to here but it is the "stock" so hoping someone has done the diagram or at least has some potential insights that might help me trace this out more accurately (and quickly).
