I have recently purchased a 2002 411 and I am in the process of repairing/upgrading various items.

Is there a Hanse 411 owners manual? I have manuals for almost all of my individual systems from the various manufactures, but nothing from Hanse itself.

In particular I would really appreciate any Information on the wiring as this seems very complex. I plan to add a battery monitor, has anyone else done this? Any tips?

Also While replacing some pipes and ducting I have located two coils of wire, one behind the trim panel which opens to the hull above the wash basin in the forward heads and another in the bilge under the cooker. These wires contain two strands of cable each, one end disappearing into the boat and the other in a neat coil, as if for some purpose, I am wondering if for some unspecified option not purchased on my boat?

I am very happy with how she sails so far, and looking forward to learning more from other owners

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I posted a similar question following our purchase some years back and it would appear there is no definitive manual available. This may in part be due to the constantly changing way the boats are put together, the optional extras added at purchase, and post-commission modifications.

As someone who has spent a lifetime in electronics I found this situation to be deeply troubling and so spent many hours figuring out the systems, but this knowledge is only of use for our boat as it has been modified so much by the previous owner.

I would suggest that the wires under the cooker are most likely there for a gas detector option. We only have a single heads so can't suggest what the other cable might be for.

Good luck!

well, on the newer boats Hanse has Chosen to install one standard cable beams, which incorpoarte all Options. I found a 12 Volt cable in my plotter box, which came in very handy for installing my gofree module. I just had to ad a 5A fuse in the main panel.

Are these loose ends you mentionned live with 12 Volt? If yes start to remove fuses until you loose 12 V.

Do they have a number? Then search the matching number most likely again in the main panel area.

I have a 2003 Hanse 341. I have a Hanse manual for mine so I think there must have been one produced for a 411 as well. The manual shows wiring and deck layout etc.

I also have various cables throughout the boat with no purpose and are disconnected at both ends. I can only think this was the practice at the time for possible options.

I have a 411 form 2003. Bought it new. There was not really a manual and certainly not a wiring diagram, which is a pity because the factory installed wiring for all kinds of stuff that was on the option list. If you did not buy this things, the wiring was there anyway. I think that the wiring somewhere under the galley might be for the optional electric halyard winch. There are also wires from the instrument cabinet to the cockpit for cockpit speakers, and maybe the wires in the front cabin are for the anchor winch. There was also wiring available when i installed my heater in the back cockpit locker and the same for the autopilot.

The situation for me is the same. The handbook that followed is next to nothing. No el schematics nor the pipes for pulling cables. Also marking for actuators and fuses were missing. I did a job this winter with the alternator and charging system and at the same time I did my best to follow cables and tag it. As you I found many cables not in use.

I do have an electric halyard winch, but those cables are not in the galley. It is going from the main switch to large fuses (100 and 200 amp) not far from the main switch and to an actuator located beside the anchor winch actuator and form there through the engine room up to the ceiling plate just inside the door to the starboard aft cabin.

I found some el schematic on the net. One covering the engine and another covering most of the other installations. If you PM me your e-mail I can send it to you.

regards
