Spreader Light If one battery is fully charged and the other is totally
discharged, connecting them in parallel (by using the
BOTH position) can cause very high currents to flow

discharged battery by slowly re-charging it with an AC-
operated battery charger.
Activates the forward flood light located on the T-Top if
installed. This light provides lighting for the forward deck
area.

Livewell/Livewell Lights
The arrangement of the contacts of the typical OFF-1-2-

the load or the outboard charging circuit. This is

charging circuit if the battery is disconnected while the
engine is running. By choosing the path of rotation of
the switch, it is possible to change from 1 to 2 without
moving through the OFF position.
