Battery switch & Acc wiring

[utexasrick]

New to the forums here, just picked up an 06 Mobius LSV. Had a sea ray before this so all this v-drive inboard stuff is somewhat new to me but been reading a lot on the forum.


The boat has a dual battery setup but I noticed that all the Acc/dash/stereo is wired to a 50amp bus which bypasses the battery switch. So basically I still can potentially have a drain on the battery when the boat is stored. I think only the stereo uses a small voltage when off to keep the memory but if a switch was accidentally hit on the dash it could cause the battery to drain. Is this normal with these boats? The fuse does have a cutoff switch though that I could open when storing the boat.

It may be as simple as dismounting the switch battery switch and relocating that helm BUSS B+ from the switch's battery post over to the C post. This insures everything is off when the switch is off, but it also insures all loads pull from the same battery and the battery the switch is set on.
