Main Electric switches 2000 310 SA V-Drive 350 mag/mpi

[Jetgod]

I am confused. Can someone clarify what anccillaries are powered by the main battery switches. In my boat I have two mains ,on/off selections. I will call the Port #1 and Starboard #2. Port has one battery,SB has two. I believe that when I select #1 on,it only powers the port engine,no ancillaries. If I use #2 only, it powers SB engine and ALL the house systems, ie water pump, radio, toilet, cabin lights, etc....Is this how it works on your 310SA or am I confused. Thank-you for clarification.

Usually, the single battery will be reserved to crank the generator. If you run down the other 2 batteries by operating the house 12V demand, you always have the single battery to crank the generator, and get everything charged back up again, and to get the mains cranked.

The gen battery does not get charged from house charger. It only gets charged from running gen there is no cross conection on sea rays.
