The 275 Freedom is equipped with two batteries and two select switches. An outboard engine
should be connected to each battery select switch. Either engine may be started with either battery
bank by selecting position “1” or position “2” on the select switches. In normal use, select
position “1” on the starboard switch and position “2” on the port switch so that both battery banks
will be charged simultaneously when the engines are running. The “1 + 2” position should only be
selected in emergency situations when neither battery bank alone will start the engines. Should
this event occur, the switches should be returned to normal setting after starting the engines. The
DC accessories on the boat will always be controlled by the starboard switch. See
with Select Switches (Dual)” on page 8–21
“Battery Wiring with Select Switches (Single)” on
for a diagram.

Your boat is equipped with automatic float switches on the bilge pumps. This will enable the
bilge pump to come on automatically if a significant amount of water accumulates in the bilge.
The switches are wired directly to the batteries via breakers in the battery select switch box and
should be inspected frequently to ensure proper operation. The float switches function
independently of the battery select switches and can activate the bilge pumps with the battery
select switches in the off position. The pumps are equipped with switches at the helm. When the
helm switches are in the manual position, the pumps will run continuously. The pump should not
be left in the manual mode unless someone is monitoring the system and can turn the pump off
when the bilge is dry.
