Default Battery switch on dashboard 47 Lightning...

Hi guys,

I may have a dumb question here.. But on a triple engined 47 Lightning 1998 MY, there is a toggle swith right above the steering wheel... It is "off" in the middle, and you can flip it in both directions. It is related to the two volt-meters above it. But I wonder.. -How does this switch work?? Why is it only two voltmeters, then the boat has one battery for each engine + one for the generator...?? This does not make much sense to me.

This board is so nice ;-)

Erik

you have 2 volt meters and 3 engines 2 engines share 1 gauge and the switch changes between those 2 engines on that 1 gauge

Thanks,

I can't believe why they did it this way, instead of just putting in an extra volt-meter..?
