Re: 350 mariner battery switches
Shore power 1 on
All of the individual breakers on shore power 1 are off with the exception of the Battery Charger
Shore Power 2 is off
DC
I leave everything on except the water pump, the head, accy. bridge, and the wash down pump. We are there a lot so I don't see the need to shut of all of those breakers.
I am currently leaving my battery switch on both but that is more because I have strange wiring set up with battery charge that I have yet to delve into. I would probably leave it on two as that is where my bigger battery bank is.
Where abouts in Georgian Bay are your BuD37?
Cheers

Re: 350 mariner battery switches
When we leave the boat, it is plugged in to the shore power and we leave on the breakers for the battery charger, inside fridge (which is actually one of the "receptacle" breakers in ours), ice maker (which on ours controls the outlet on the flybridge that our bar fridge is plugged into) the bilge pumps and the accy breaker that has the fuel sniffer and high water bilge alarm on it.

Re: 350 mariner battery switches
You are experiencing the the same issue with battery charging VS switch position that I am. I think I have part of the answer to that question and I am going to take some shots of the salon panel opened up and post them for some options to correct it,hopefully. Even although the 3 breakers of the charger are on, the position of the battery switch still seems to effect the charging of 1 and 2 battery bank.
This is why this forum is great... one question always leads us down another path!!!
cheers

Re: 350 mariner battery switches
Cant figure out if the fridge auto swtches to 110 as soon as it sees shore power , can you leave the fridge 12v switch on all the time and fridge picks 110 when available over the battery????
Today we left it with shore 1 on with the fridge receptacle on...battery switch on both.....everything else off....so we shall see what is what by Tuesday.
Feeez we are right next to you, live right in town.One of these days I may just drive over there and you can show off your battery setup.

Re: 350 mariner battery switches
When you leave the boat with the battery on make sure the fridge 12V breaker is on also. If the power went off at the marina for an extended period of time the fridge will defrost all over the galley floor.
You are welcome to drop by we are the only 350 in the marina.

There must be something that's not hooked up properly. Perhaps there is no charge lead hooked up to the battery that won't charge on its own or that charge leg has failed. Are you sure you are getting power from the battery that won't charge on its own? Maybe there is a negative cable that hasn't been hooked up.
