The first switch selects the battery bank in service. These were not wired consistently which caused some initial confusion. The 2 * 4D were wired to the "1" position, while the 4D (engine/windless) battery was wired to the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (tinolanza) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/2250 Mon, 05 Jun 2006 10:46:42 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/2249/t/Battery-switches.html#reply-2249 feeds@yuku.com (peterw) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/2249 Mon, 05 Jun 2006 10:37:02 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/2248/t/Battery-switches.html#reply-2248 I used past tense as we have just added a group 27 as a dedicated starting battery on position #2 , thereby making all 3... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (dbnonsense) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/2248 Mon, 05 Jun 2006 10:32:31 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/2247/t/Battery-switches.html#reply-2247
Are you sure you have 2 batteries for the house loads and 1 for the engine? A lot of 42's were delivered with 2 4A's in the port aft battery box with an off-1-2-all switch and another for the windlass under the forward settee.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (melelana) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/2247 Mon, 05 Jun 2006 09:52:29 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/2246/t/Battery-switches.html#reply-2246
Without doing a lot of tracing, there is a red wire into the engine switch and a red wire out that goes to the house switch that is connected to one of the on poles. As I said, there is no power to the engine (for starting) unless the house switch is also on.

Some more info please.

Are these On-Off switches or Offf-1-2-all switches? Have you traced the wires and can you provide a rough schematic?
