Here's what you do Tank. Put on your "reading" glasses and get down on the floor. Lift the door to access the battery switches. Read what it says. It is small print....but that's what it said on my Bullet and TG.

We started to track it down last winter and lost interest. Batteries stay charged and everything works so I've kind of ignored it.
I'm pulling out the 2 monster batterys that belong in a semi. The boat's been sitting for 5 years and 1 of the 2 actually start bot engines. When I ran a volt meter with switches on 1 & 1 I cranked both engines & they drew from the port side. All cables are on that single battery. The '89 I had was set up with 3 batt's. Looking at this last night it looks like several holes in the stringer were for the battery mounts. Some rocket scientist decided to install these truck batt's for an unknown reason. If all goes well today I'll be splashing Saturday.
I'll post back with my findings for the curious.

I'd really like to meet the person that wired this boat for 2 batt's. Would a freaking nightmare. # batts belong in this boat! I installed the starboard batt no problem. That has 2 +'s and 1 -. Now the port (not including the charger) has 1 + 3 large -'s and a ton of small -'s. I hook everything up and used a post adapter to accept all the grounds.
In the switch panel here's as follow's;
Starboard switch on 1, starboard engine draws from starboard batt.
Port switch on 2 draws from port side batt.
I would imagine you have 2 batt switches & they should both be on "1". Am I missing something ?

Mine doesn't have the writing either. i always put them on both.
if you put them both on 1 doesn't that mean that they are only running on one battery? i would think that one should be on 1 and the other on 2 or am i missing something?
