Mystery Box in Engine Room
I have a 14” X 18” closed electrical box wall mounted next to my battery charger in my ER on my other boat (56 Ocean). It has three switches on the outside labeled hi/low, on/off and hi/low respectively. I opened the box and found two transformers and a few relays. It has one 110v lead going in and two 12v leads coming out. Any idea what this box is for?

Hello John, how about a photo?
Re: Mystery Box in Engine Room
Photo is not easy to come by, at least in the near term. The on/off switch has been on since I bought the boat and there is definitely AC coming in and DC going out. Could it be some sort of battery conditioner? Really weird to have those hi/low togles(2) on the side.

Take a look at your full compliment of wiring schematics that Ocean provides to all Owners. Oh wait, its Hatteras that does that. Nevermind.
Re: Mystery Box in Engine Room
Any other ideas? The hi/low switches are what throws me.
Re: Mystery Box in Engine Room
Could it be for lights?
A 50 ocean in worked on had 110 volt to 24 volt transformers.
Re: Mystery Box in Engine Room
Sounds like lighting. Do you have 24v spare bulbs anywhere?

You could use a Fox & Hound to trace the wiring...
