Edd,
I would +1 on checking the wires. If it shows 0, it would be a bit strange, but not impossible. Check for the corrosion and the proper tightening of the clamps on the battery terminals. I had over 6 V (!) drop on the clamp to terminal connection when I installed the batteries this spring. A bit of sand paper and good tightening of the clamp solved that issue.

Edd, It's strange for the switch to go like that. Check the wire between the positive side of the battery and the switch for corrosion or breakage. Is your voltmeter part of your boat instruments? If the voltmeter shows good voltage on the battery the ground wire should be OK, if it reads "0" check your negative side wiring to the DC ground.

Listers, Has anyone ever had a Battery-Selector Switch go bad on them? Strange thing happened on the Enterprise last night after racing and preparing to go home. As I moved the selector from ALL to Battery 1, everything shut down. Going back to ALL or Battery 2, everything came back on again. I checked the voltage on 1 before I left and saw 12.35 volts (we were running lights and all for a while post-racing.) Certainly enough to power the lights that I had switched on. My first guess is that it's the switch, but I'd welcome any suggestions or other things to investigate from the wisdom of the group. All the best, Edd Edd M.
