Your 240 Outrage uses a battery selector switch to
control delivery of DC power from two batteries. The
battery switch is located below the breaker panel on
the aft bulkhead inside the console.
The dual battery switch has four (4) settings:
OFF, you will have no power to the engine(s).
ALL, you will have power from both batteries
at the same time. This parallels the batteries to
assist you in starting the engine(s), once the en-
gine is started the battery switch should be taken
off of the ALL setting, and set to charge either
battery .
1, you will have power from the port battery only.
2, you will have power from the starboard
battery only.
When the engines are shut down or not providing a
charge, the system will draw power from the star-
board battery. This will allow you to run all the boats
functions without affecting the port battery. You can
run the starboard battery flat and still start the en-
gines by moving the selector knob on the battery
switches to the ALL position. The battery switches
are located below the breaker panel on the aft bulk-
head inside the console. When looking at the panel,
the switch on the left is for the port battery and en-
gine, the right switch is for the starboard battery and
engine.

The bilge pump will still draw power from the batter-
ies, even if the switches are set to “OFF”.

If the battery does become run down be sure to re-
charge it as soon as possible. Over charging the bat-
tery can be just as detrimental to its life as running it
down too far.
