NOTICE
The positive and negative studs incorporated
into the battery switch panel are intended to
raise the engine hatch when properly attached
to an external volt source ( volt battery).
Once properly attached to the volt source
use the engine hatch switch at the helm to
raise the engine hatch. These studs are not
designed for jump-starting a dead battery.

DUAL ENGINE - TRIPLE BATTERY
SYSTEM
A. battery. selector. panel. with. two. battery. selector.
switches.are.installed.on.dual.engine,.triple.battery.in-
stallations..Each,.the.ship's.systems.and.engines,.has.
an.individual.battery.designated.to.it.
A. Installation
1.. Connect.each.of.the.red.(positive).battery.cables.
leading.from.the.battery.selector.switch.to.the.
positive.(+).terminal.on.each.of.the.three.batteries.. .
Refer.to.Figure.H1.
NOTICE
Be sure all three red (positive) cables are
installed on the positive (+) battery terminals.
2.. Connect.each.of.the.black.(negative).battery.
cables.leading.to.the.engine.block.to.the.negative.
(-).battery.terminals.on.each.of.the.three.batteries.
Electrical Systems - Section H
B. Battery Switch Operation - Dual
Power.to.the.engines.and.all.12.volt.electrical.equip-
ment.is.controlled.at.the.battery.selector.panel..
Separate.breakers.are.provided.on.the.battery.
selector.switch.panel.to.protect.the.stereo,.shower.
sump,.aft.bilge.pump,.hatch.lift,.ship.systems.and.
windlass (if applicable). Note: The "SHIP'S SYSTEM"
circuit breaker must be placed in the "ON" position to
provide.power.to.all.non-engine.related.12.volt.
electrical.equipment..
The.battery.selector.switch.positions.for.the.dual.
battery.selector.switch.is.as.follows:
"OFF" - With the battery selector switches in the "OFF"
position and the "SHIPS SYSTEMS" circuit breaker in
the "OFF" position, all 12 volt power to the boat is shut
off.except.to.the.shower.sump.and.aft.automatic.bilge.
pumps,.stereo.memory,.and.windlass..Always.turn.the.
battery selector switches and the SHIPS SYSTEMS"
circuit breaker switch to the "OFF" position when the
boat.is.unattended.for.an.extended.period.
NOTICE
DO NOT turn the battery selector switch to the
"OFF" position while its corresponding engine
is running. Alternator and wiring damage could
result.
Port Engine Battery Switch:
"ON" - Turning the switch to position "ON" will use the
port.engine.battery.to.power.the.port.engine.and.12.
volt.engine.related.equipment..The.ships.system.
battery.will.not.be.used.for.any.engine.related.equip-
ment,.but.will.power.all.other.12.volt.equipment.on.the.
boat..The.isolator.will.allow.any.alternator.to.charge.all.
three batteries. "ON" is the recommended switch
position.for.normal.boat.operation.
Starboard Engine Battery Switch:
"ON" - Turning the switch to position "ON" will use the
stbd.engine.battery.to.power.the.stbd.engine.and.12.
volt.engine.related.equipment...The.ships.system.
battery.will.not.be.used.for.any.engine.related.equip-
ment,.but.will.power.all.other.12.volt.equipment.on.the.
boat...The.isolator.will.allow.any.alternator.to.charge.
all three batteries. "ON" is the recommended switch
position.for.normal.boat.operation.
