Re: 350 mariner battery switches
I've seen some installations where this has been omitted. I suspect the installer's thinking was that the ground wire already there from the AC hookup will do the same thing which is a big no no.

Re: 350 mariner battery switches
Spent the day cleaning battery terminals and filling with distilled ( gen battery was dry, odd because gen has only 40 hrs).....also it appears that the charger is connected to the battery terminals and is charging the gen.....I only have three batteries ( soon to be rectified ), I have always kept the gen totally separate.

Re: 350 mariner battery switches
The gen battery is being charged by the charger on ours also. With the new charger I installed this year and the previous one.

I am sure of that too Dave, no worries. I am just happy I was finally able to figure this one out.
Cheers

I guess that broken stud would explain the charging issues......wonder why PO would not have just changed the breaker???

Just remembered.
If you do decide to go with these batteries make sure you get the ones with higher posts.... unlike me. It has been a tight squeeze to connect things to them at times.......

- Vessel Info: 2001 396, less than 100 hours on twin Cummins-previous owner used it as a virtual condo at the dock. Maintained flawlessly. Just bought yesterday and surveys next week. Selling sea Ray 260, Sundancer, which I loved but becomes way too small fast.
