The 285 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” on page 8–19
for a diagram.
N O T I C E
These outlets cannot be used with a cigarette lighter.
C A U T I O N
Never
turn the battery select switch to the “off” position with the engine running as this could
damage the charging system.
