Battery Switch Positions - Bayliner 245 Owner's Manual

Chapter 12: Electrical System
Battery Switch (If Equipped With Two Batteries)
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
When the engine is running, NEVER turn Off the battery switch or disconnect the bat-
tery cables. Doing either could cause damage to your boat's engine and/or electrical
system components.
• "Stand-by Loads", such as the auto-
matic bilge pump, and the stereo
memory, are not affected by the bat-
tery switch. Stand-by loads bypass the
battery switch and are wired directly
to the battery.
• Turn the battery switch to the Off
position whenever the boat will be
unoccupied for long periods of time.

Since your boat's batteries were installed by your dealer, the battery switch positions listed
