My '01 340 requires the crossover switch to start the Port side even though it has a brand new battery on that side (?). I recently tested all the batteries resting voltage / parasitic draw, alternators, charger, connections, etc. and everything seemed to be fine. I do have a sticky solenoid on the left house bank - but it is not tripping, but sometimes needs to be actuated a few times before it works. Could this solenoid be working for a minimal house load but failing to provide starting current / voltage or the continuity from the ignition switch in the left house bank? Could my charger be faulty or failing on just one of the two banks? I am in a slip on shore power with weeks between visits. I really wasnt certain the old battery was that bad and put the new one in to be certain, I guess I should double check the new battery...
