Switch
Your vessel features a helm mounted battery parallel
switch for emergency starting. Both engine cranking bat-
teries are wired to a battery switch, battery parallel sole-
noid and to the helm push button switch.
For identification purposes the battery parallel solenoid
is located in the bilge along the forward engine bulkhead
covered by a protective box. See the illustration.
To start an engine with a weak battery simply push the
dash push button switch. The switch will automatically
start the engine with the weak battery from the other
engine's strong battery. Once the engine starts release
the push button switch.

Once both engines are started the engine alternators will
charge the batteries as needed through the battery isola-
tor. As the batteries reach peak charge the battery isola-
tor regulates itself down to a "trickle" charger style out-
put.
