I recently purchase a 1996 290 sundancer and are confused with the battery switches and there functions. The boat is equipped with twin 4.3 liter engines. I have one battery switch on the left that simply has an on and off position and a battery switch on the right that has a 1 postion, all position and 2 position. The boat is eqipped with 2 cranking batteries and one deep cycle. My problem is that when the battery is set to position 2, one motor will start and one acts as if the battery is dead??, if I put it on 1 or all, both motors fire up fine. It would appear one of the batteries is dead put I do not understand why one motor would start on position 2 but the other does not. Could someone provide information on the configuration of the switches so that I can understand there functions?
