Battery switch only for motor circuit?

[infx708]

I bought a 2019 Four Winns HD200 OB. It has two batteries, one for the motor and one for everything else. There is one battery switch and it only controls the motor circuit. Does the, I'll call it hull circuit, not need a cutoff switch? Is that function supposed to be served by the ignition switch? I can't find a wiring diagram.

The "hull circuit" (house) is typically feed thru the "accessories" connection on the back of the battery switch.

Ok. I took a closer look at things and it looks like the batteries are connected in series, but have the swithc between them. Not knowing the internal wiring, I can't really say much more about it. I do know that with the switch off, I can turn the ignition switch and the dash and gauges come to life.

If it's in series it means there is 24V potential. The motor and gauges should only have 12V not 24V. Do you have a trolling motor?
