Typical Twin Engine Battery Switch
—In twin
engine applications, the port engine START
battery doubles as the auxiliary (12 volt
accessories) power source. The starboard engine
START battery is solely used to start the
starboard motor. To turn the battery ON, depress
the top portion of the START switch. To turn the
battery OFF, depress the bottom portion of the
START switch.

Note:
Power is supplied to the bilge pumps, high
water alarm, stereo memory, and galvanic
protection system through the constant power
circuit, independent of the battery switches’
positioning (i.e., these components receive power
even with the switches in the OFF position).
Each twin engine boat is equipped with a battery
parallel system
(Figure 4-37)
. The battery parallel
switch allows you to start either engine off of
either battery. The switch should be in the OFF
position during normal use. Should one of the
START batteries be low on cranking power, turn
the battery parallel switch ON. This allows the
engine with the low battery to start by using power
from the other engine’s battery. Once both
engines are running, turn the battery parallel
switch OFF. If you continue to have a low battery
problem, please contact your Formula dealer.
