battery questions
1980 chris craft 211 scorpion.... motor is a 1985 235 johnson w/35a alternator. I have just put this boat in the water recently after much work. I rewired the whole boat and everything is working properly except this. The pos. from the motor is on the common and the positive from term 1 goes to term 1 on battery and pos. from battery 2 goes to term 2 on the switch, both negatives are connected from battery 1 to 2 so im pretty sure thats all hooked up right. I did think that you only have to turn the motor off before switching to off ,not between 1 or 2 but i may be wrong. Anyway the voltmeter reads correctly unless i switch to battery 2 which has me baffled. ....Im thinking the battery 2 was really low and i only charged it for a liitle bit that could that be why the voltmeter is not reading anything, so im gonna fully charge the battery this time and try it again ..... thanks tsubaki
