a pictures worth a thousand words

I had decided not to put a battery switch inline as some haven't with one battery but remembered you can add a simple switch which mounts to the negative battery post and which the negative cable attaches to it. When you want it off to the boat just turn the knob on top and it breaks the connection. Cheap, simple and better than leaving something on inadvertently when you leave the boat for a while and it's not in a slip, etc.
