I'm the new owner of a 2003 Tiara 31 open,  The boat has the Cummins 330 engines, with non regulated Balmar alternators.  There is a Charles Regulator controlling them.  Here's the question, on the electric panel inside there is a AC breaker labeled  charger with a 12awg black wire coming off of it .  I have looked everywhere without finding a charger.  Also if I watch the DC meters I don't see a rise in DCV when the charger switch is turned on.  The Charles regulator is supposed to be turned on by the ignition so I don't think that is the purpose of the switch.  I'm thinking of installing a charger but what worries me is that AC switch, I've tried to trace it but it's impossible.  Any ideas how these boats were equipped, it seems odd to me that there is no battery charger.
