monitoring of battery bank voltages is advised while
using this switch, to detect abnormal battery bank

Failure of one battery bank. In this condition, some
circumstance has caused the failure of one battery
bank so that it can no longer supply any power to the
components. To power all loads from one battery
bank you must first turn the the failed bank’s
disconnect switch to the OFF position, and then turn
the emergency cross connect switch to the ON
position. All D.C. components will now be powered
from the good battery bank.
WHEN OPERATING ALL D.C. LOADS FROM ONE
BATTERY BANK, ALL NON-ESSENTIAL LOADS

When leaving the boat for any extended period, turn the engine
and house battery bank main disconnect switches OFF. You
should also leave the boat connected to shore power with the

automatic bilge pumps. Turning off the main disconnects also
disables power to the helm, preventing operation of the engines
and other helm functions. If you are leaving the boat for a shorter
period of time and wish to keep D.C. power supplied to other
components, switching the ignition breakers on the engine room
12 V D.C. main disconnect panel to the OFF position will
prevent the engines from being operated.
When you first arrive at your boat for a trip, and periodically
when using your boat, it is a good idea to monitor your battery
voltages. Battery voltages below 11.5 volts (with a load on the
