Batteries and electical question.
Can anyone tell me which battery powers the cabin electronics and which battery is 1 and 2 on the switches. Should I have two deep cycles or should one of them be just a starting battery.

Yes, can someone explain this in detail? It does not explain itself....
My impression is that each switch supply power to the corresponding engine.
(with 2 switches, 2 engines, 2 batteries)
Starb. switch gives power to Cabin power panel
Port switch gives power to tabs, trim.
If I remember right, this is how my boat is set up.
Correct me if I am wrong!! I get a bit confused some times when switching on.
A good rule is to let one engine run on battery 1, and the other on batteri 2. When stationary, and with the stereo, interior lights etc. on for a long time, the other battery can start the both engines when switched to the 1+2 position. Am I right here?

P switch to #2= P battery to the P motor,
S switch to #1= S battery to the S motor.
Easy way to remember, each switch points to the side of the boat that it is on. LLL, RRR
(switch, battery, motor)
With both switches set to either 1 or 2, both motors will be starting off/charging the same battery. Not best to run them set to same position. And don't run both iswitches in the BOTH position.
S switch to #1= S battery to the S motor.

Yes.
Pos 1 is for the S battery
Pos 2 is for the P battery
This applies to both switches.
