I just took delivery of an '05 340 DA last week with twin 496 mags w Bravo 3s. My previous boat was an '02 240 DA (which I loved for the 5 yrs that I owned it). It had a battery switch which made it easy to run 1, 2 or both batteries, and gave me the flexibility to protect one battery when I was on the hook to be able to start the engine in the morning.
The setup on the 340DA is different with the solenoid battery switches. When my boat was shipped to my marina, it arrived with the stbd battery bank dead.
My question is, when I am on the hook, how do I isolate either the port or STb battery bank to ensure I have enough juice to start up in the morning? (the genie runs off of the STBd battery bank). If I turn off one of the switches, I believe (but am not 100% certain) that not all DC powered devices will work? My owner's manual does not make it clear to me what I should be doing. :huh:
