I have a 12 volt trolling battery and a dual purpose starting battery. Sometimes I run down the trolling battery before I stop fishing for the day. I would like to connect a Perko switch between it and the dual purpose starting battery. Could someone help me with the right wiring connection for this setup. Help is appreciated.

Re: Wiring Perko Switch Between Trolling And Starting Battery

Wiring diagrams (several methods) will come with the switch. You can also search on for "marine battery switch diagrams" to see many wiring configurations. Using your starting battery for the troller is a sure way to leave yourself stranded (or rowing).
