power by battery 2. Battery 1 will be isolated and
in reserve. Battery 2 will then be charged by the
alternator.
When the selector switch is on 1 & 2, the batter-
ies are connected in parallel so the engine and
12-volt system will be supplied power by both
batteries. Both batteries will be charged by the
alternator. The 1 & 2 position should only be used
when starting the engine, as this requires extra
electrical power or when both batteries are low
and need charging. Otherwise, it is recommended
that the selector switch be set on battery 1 or
battery 2 when the engine is operating. While
in port, trolling or at anchor, the battery selector
switch should be set on either the battery 1 or
the battery 2 position. This will keep one battery
in reserve for starting the engine. The battery
switch should be turned to the OFF position when
leaving the boat unattended.
Notice:
Current is supplied to the automatic oat
switch for the bilge pump when the batter-
ies are connected, even if the battery switch
is off.
