Battery Select Switch
The 300 Marlin is equipped with four batteries and two battery select switches. The batteries
are grouped into two banks, each bank consisting of two batteries wired in parallel. One
battery select switch is designated for each engine, and the accessories operate from the same
switch as the starboard engine. See
“Battery Wiring With Select Switches” on page 8–34
for a
battery wiring diagram.
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 charge simultaneously with the engines running.
Stereo
The stereo is a marine Sirius ready AM/FM receiver with inputs for an IPod® as well as other
digital media storage devices. It is located inside the cabin with speakers in the forward cabin
area, the helm and the cockpit. There is an amplifier that operates the two speakers under the
gunwales and is located under the stereo in the port valance. The unit can be remotely
operated with the touch pad mounted at the helm station. If the boat is equipped with a
hardtop, the speakers from the port and starboard deck wings will be located in the hardtop.
Refer to the stereo’s Operation and Maintenance manual in your Owner’s Packet for specific
instructions on using this unit. See
“Stereo System Layout” on page 8–31
for a diagram.
C A U T I O N
Never turn the battery select switch to the “Off” position with an engine (including generators)
running as this could damage the engine charging system or the control panel.
