I don’t know how to label the pictures but the first three are the starboard side, the next two are the port side and the final picture is the fuse panel. The starboard side switch appears to be wired like the owners manual picture. The battery has the return from the 40A breaker wire AND...

When both switches are off, and both batteries are removed from the starboard side everything is finally off. No lights, No motors and no pumps.

Starboard side

So I am at boat now. I removed both batteries from the starboard side. I removed the battery switch which appears to be wired correctly per my owners manual and Skunks picture above. However, when I switch the port side switch on 1,2, both everything works. All pumps, lights and both motors...

I suppose that this is possible. However, when i removed the terminals i zip tied them together and marked with tape so not to mess up the replacement. I just need to get to the boat to take apart the switches to see how they are wired. I can tell you that the second battery is wired in...

This forum is great! I have only been a member (and a Grady owner) for a very short period of time. There are so many folks willing to help. Thank you! I, hopefully, answered everyone's questions to help further the trouble shooting exercise. I'm going to try to get to the boat tomorrow to...

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check this out. Boat is on the hard getting dreaded exhaust repair done to the 225's

I don't have any buddies with clean fingernails :)

Thank you for the suggestion. I will try this and report back

No, there are only 2 switches (one for each bank of two starting batteries). yes, i know that there should be a deep cycle but this is how i bought the boat. yes, in the past turning just the switches killed all power when in the off position. I can not confirm with any certainty that on 1 or...

I don't know when they blew. I just bought the boat. I replaced all of the scupper hoses and sanitation hoses along with an external macerator pump like suggested on this site. I am just getting around to starting electric/electronics. yes, the switches have worked before including after i...

This is a 2003 265 Express. I have not found another battery elsewhere other than where they are supposed to be. There are 4 starting batteries. Two connected to each battery switch.

It's not just lights getting power. It's everything. I agree it should only being the bilge pump getting power if the float switch rises. I believe that is wired correctly

No. Everything still works with the batteries switched to off, or 1, or 2, or both. The wiper motor, mascerator, fresh water pumps. Everything. Something is up with the switches. I just need to find time to get there to investigate. I was thinking that someone may have had a similar issue...

Yeah, I agree that it doesn't make sense. The batteries would not turn off. I left the lights on and noticed when I got in my truck. I got back in the boat and turned the battery switches in every direction (1,2,both,off) but the lights would not go off. I turned them off at the switch. I...

So today as I was leaving the boat I noticed that neither of my two battery switches would turn off. I know That they have worked in the past. The only difference today was that I replaced 5 blown fuses. I didn’t have time to remove the batteries to get to the switches so I’ll go back later...

Man, I just purchased the Beckson ones like 4 weeks ago. I.m going to grab a few of these for the futur. That’s a freaking deal comparatively speaking

Good call!!!!!

Well I finally finished this project. I did exactly as max366 did. The Groco switch still works so I used it. Not sure on the monitor Portion because there’s nothing in it. Also, I assume that it works because, again, there’s nothing in the tank. this project definitely had some challenges...
