Batteries and Battery Switch
The DC electrical system on your boat is designed
for wet cell, absorbed glass mat or gel cell marine
batteries. It is important that you know the type of
batteries in your boat and that the engine charg-
ing system and optional battery charger are set to
recharge these batteries. Charging systems not
set to the proper battery type could cause unusu-
ally short battery life, engine starting problems
and damage to the DC charging systems. You
also should not mix the brand or type of batteries.
Your boat has provision for one or two batteries.
The batteries should be of the size and capacity
recommended by the manufacturer of your en-
gine. See the engine owner’s manual for more
information on battery requirements. These speci-
size battery required. The batteries were installed
by your dealer. Always consult your dealer before
changing the type of batteries in your boat or if
you questions regarding the batteries.
Boats with One Battery & One Battery Switch
On boats with one battery, the battery switch
feeds the engine and the 12 volt accessory pan-
els. The battery switch has two positions, OFF &
ON. When the battery switch is ON, the engine
and accessory circuits are activated simultane-

engine, accessories and electronics. When the
switch is in the OFF position, the engine and all DC
circuits are deactivated except for the automatic
bilge pump switch and electronic engine control
memory which remain activated.
Boats With Two Batteries & One Battery Switch
On boats with two batteries and one battery
switch, the battery switch will have four positions,
OFF, 1, 2 and 1 & 2 (both). The operator can
set the switch to supply 12 volt power by either
battery # 1 or battery # 2 separately or by both
batteries simultaneously. The selector switch also
directs the charging current when the engine is
operating.
For example: When the switch is on battery # 1,
the engine and the 12 volt system will be supplied

power by battery # 1. Battery # 2 will be isolated
and in reserve. Battery # 1 will be charged by the
alternator. When the selector switch is on battery
# 2, the engine and the 12 volt system will be
supplied power by battery # 2. Battery # 1 will
be isolated and in reserve. Battery # 2 will then
be charged by the alternator. When the selector
switch is on “1 & 2,” the batteries are connected
in parallel so the engine and the 12 volt system
will be supplied power by both batteries. Both
batteries will be charged by the alternator.
The “1 & 2” position should only be used when
starting the engine, as this requires extra electrical
power, or when both batteries are low and need
charging. Otherwise, it is recommended that the
selector switch be set on battery # 1 or battery
# 2 when the engine is operating. While in port
or at anchor, the battery selector switch should
be set to either the battery # 1 or the battery #
2 position. This will keep one battery in reserve
for starting the engine. The battery switch should
be turned to the “OFF” position when leaving the
boat unattended.
Boats With Two Batteries & Three Battery
Switches
288SS models are equipped with two batteries and
three battery switches, a switch for the engine, a
battery switch for the house and accessory circuits
and an emergency battery parallel switch to pro-
vide additional starting power in an emergency.
An automatic isolator/relay controls the charging
of the engine and house batteries whenever the
engine is operating.
