On either model, dual batteries are an option. The second battery may be used as a back up power
supply or the second battery may be used to power a trolling motor. When equipped as a back up power
supply, the boat will have a battery selector switch which provides isolation for each battery and also
provides the ability to have a back-up in case of a dead or weak battery. When in port and running
accessories such as entertainment equipment or pumps, the selector switch should be set on 1 or
2. When leaving the boat unattended, the selector switch should be in the OFF position. If the
battery is intended to be used as a trolling motor battery, there will be separate circuitry.
Current is supplied to the automatic float switch and the bilge pump even when the battery selector
switch is in the OFF position.
Avoid running the selector in the “both” position, as the weak battery will drain the charged
battery, leaving you with two weak batteries. Instead, start the engine using the charged
battery. Once the engine is running, turn the battery switch to the “both” position to charge
both batteries.
