My original question isn't to run my boat on ALL.
I was just asking for when I'm on BAT 1 deep cycle battery trolling around with my kicker motor with all my electronics on - mostly my plotter and fish finder.
Then, we want to move, so I switch it to BAT 2 starter battery to fire up my 90hp. (Starting my 90hp would not be good using the deep cycle battery.)
I would hope all my electronics stay on as I switch from BAT 1 to BAT 2.
.
I thought about just leaving my starter battery hooked up separately to my 90hp, and leave everything else on the deep cycle, and have no need to do anything with the SWITCH.
.
I hope to just test it soon just to see if there isn't any temporary disconnect as I switch from BAT 1 to BAT 2.
.
I'll post back my results.
with my selector, Batt 1, Batt 2, Both....any selection powers my entire electrical system...(just a simple pontoon). I'm just selecting the source.
An ACR keeps both batteries charged.
