This is a "new to me" Ocean Alexander 450 -- we're having a problem with the power to the stabilizers, and so far here is what I know:
1. When the stbd key is turned on -- it energizes a 12v to 24v converter so that the stabilizers get the 24v they need.
2. Both house & engine battery banks are charged.
3. The stabilizers will ONLY power on when the 2 banks are in parallel.
IN other words -- with parallel off and stbd key on -- no stabilizers. With parallel on and stbd key on -- stabilizers power up. With stabilizers "on" and turn "off" the parallel switch -- stabilizers shut down.
There is sufficient power on both banks to run the stabilizers -- why are they only powering when the parallel switch is ON?
