Skier's Choice installs a 4-position battery switch on any boat equipped with dual batteries. It is recommended that both batteries be fully charged between
each use to insure they can deliver the electrical demands required for each outing. The purpose of our recommendation is to utilize one primary battery for
all operational needs, and have the other as a backup if the primary battery discharges. This situation could occur if you run your accessories such as ballast or
stereo for a long time without running the boat. The dual battery setup is designed to create a redundant system allowing the user to have a backup battery.
The switch must be in the "1" or "2" position to create the redundancy.
The 4 positions available on the battery switch are: O / 1 / 2 / 1&2. These choices indicate which battery is being used to power the boat and is being charged
by the engine's alternator. We recommend using only position 1 or 2 while boating.
Battery switch position "1&2" is available but not recommended as power will be drawn from both batteries and the alternator will have di culties keeping both
batteries charged simultaneously. It also creates a ground di erentiation which in turn will create issues with sensitive electrical components such as the dash
screen. The only time you may need Position 1 & 2 would be in an emergency situation where both batteries are low and need power from both to help start
the engine.
To properly hook up the two batteries;
1. Connect the grounding strap provided from the negative (-) post on Battery 1 to the negative (-) post on Battery 2.
2. Connect the negative (-) cable from the grounding buss bar to the negative (-) post on Battery 1.
3. Connect the negative (-) cable from the engine to the negative (-) post on Battery 1.
4. Connect the positive cable from the left side of the battery switch to the positive (+) post on Battery 1.
5. Connect the positive cable from the bottom of the switch to the positive (+) post Battery 2.
Battery 1 is designated as the primary battery and Battery 2 is designated as the secondary battery.
CAUTION!
- Do not turn the selector switch to the "O " position when the motor is running. The alternator will be permanently
damaged and is not covered under Skier's Choice or Indmar warranty.
It is highly recommended that Position "1" be used in most situations so the secondary battery will be available to start the engine
from Battery 2 (secondary) if necessary.
