What switch for second battery

[Utahboatnut]

Hello all I was wanting to install a second battery in my boat (94 crownline 196 350merc) I was looking here on i-boats store and noticed there are a number of different ones with a price range that is quite large. I don't want a piece of junk nor do I want to spend $125.00 if it isn't needed. What do you guys use or would you reccomend as a good solid unit?? Thanks for the help.

Re: What switch for second battery

I would suggest the Perko, not the best nor the worst. Make sure your switch has the make before break feature or you risk your alternator.

I think the model no. is 3510 or 3610. Either way you will see 2 switches that look identical but one will be more $$$, go with the more expensive one.
