to the "OFF" posi tion while the en gine is run ning.
Al ter na tor and wir ing dam age could re sult.
"ON" (I) - When the battery switch is set to "ON",
current flows from the engine (start) battery to the
engine start circuit, and from the ship's systems
(house) battery to the ship's systems circuits.
"COMBINE BATTERIES" - When the battery switch is
set to "COMBINE BATTERIES", current flows from
both ship's systems and engine batteries to ship's sys-
tems and engine circuits. The "COMBINE BATTER-
IES" function offers the ability to combine the two
battery banks in the event of a low start battery. Once
engine starts, return battery switch to "ON."
NOTICE
The panel is equipped with a voltage sensitive
relay (VSR) to allow charging of both batteries
when the alternator is charging.

DUAL ENGINE - TRIPLE
BATTERY SYS TEM
Depending on the model, two or three battery selector
switches are installed on dual engine, triple battery in-
stallations. This allows DC power to be used from any
of the three batter ies. On certain models the battery
switch is located inside the systems locker or at the
port transom.
A. Installation
1. Connect each of the red (positive) battery cables
lead ing from the battery selector switch to the
positive (+) terminal on each of the three batter ies.
Refer to Figure H5.
NOTICE
Be sure all three red (positive) cables are
installed on the positive (+) battery termi nals.
2. Connect each of the black or yellow (negative)
battery cables leading to the engine block to the
negative (-) battery terminals on each of the three
batteries.

B. Dual Switch Battery Panel
Power to the engine and all 12 volt electrical equip-
ment is controlled at the battery switch panel. Sepa-
rate circuit breakers are provided on the battery
selector switch panel to protect the circuitry to the aft
bilge pump, forward bilge pump, shower sump, stereo
memory, exhaust, hatch, ship's systems and windlass
(if applicable). See Figures H6 & H7 for some exam-
ples of battery switch panels.
