Post subject: Boat lift & switch wiring
Archived from groups: rec>boats (more info?)

I am replacing the motor in an older ACE boat lift unit. The original motor and
pre-wired Up/Down switch were working fine but the ½ hp open frame motor
continues to be compromised by “dirt dobbers” and other insects. The new
motor is ½ hp Dayton (6XJ41 I believe), Capacitor Start, TEFC, 120/240V,
1725/1425 rpm. The original motor apparently had some pre-wiring done inside
the connection box so I’m having some problems determining the proper
connections for wiring the original switch to the new motor, specifically
switching rotation. Both old and new are wired for 120 V. The wiring for the
switch and the motor are below. Any help is appreciated.

Switch: 4 wire + ground
Down:
L2 = White, Orange L1 = Black, Red
Up:
L2 = White, Black L1 = Orange, Red

Motor: 7 wire
CCW:
L1 = Black, Blue, Orange L2 = White, Yellow Insul. = Purple, Red
CW:
L1 = Red, Blue, Orange L2 = White, Yellow Insul. = Purple, Black

Look at
http://www.aceboathoist.com/view.cfm?pic=furnas%20switch.JPG

If you go to the Furnas site with the drum switch number you will get all of
the ways you can use this switch. You will see the Ace diagram in a better
drawing. I had all of this on a hard drive that toasted or I would just send it
to you.

Basically they connect one winding the same way in both directions and the
other winding gets flipped to reverse the motor. (orange/black flips as I
recall)

Thanks Greg. That's what I was planning to do. My problem it to determine
what the connections on the motor are. I would think that L1 and L2 on the
motor have a single wire swapped to reverse. However, L2 never changes. To
reverse, there is a swap between L1 and Insul. Just doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks for the reply!

There are two windings .. One stays the same, you swap the wires to the other
one for F/R
