I have a 2530 with twin 200hp 4 strokes. The question is this, presently I have two batteries and two switches located in the transom compartment. The switches go from battery 1,2 or both. From what I have learned so far it seems that the house side of the system is connected to one battery and the swiches seem to be there to direct power from #1 or #2 or both engines. It does not seem that I can parallel the batteries with the switches. If I should kill the house battery that would cause one engine to not start. The set-up is factory Parker and if I'm correct kind of scares me especially if it happens to go dead 70 mile offshore after a night of chunking.
Anyone with twins care to shed a little light on the subject and enlighten me before I go re-wiring my current setup?
I have gotten into the habit of carring a fully charged jump box when cruising or offshore fishing just incase. Not a bad idea either way. Thanks in advance for replies.
