View the latest post Battery switch in salon


Hi,
Brand new owner of a 2004 360 Mariner, and relative newbie to boating (4 years). Lots of stuff to learn on this boat which is significantly more complicated than my previous four winns 268 vista.
Can someone explain what the "accessory" battery switch in the salon cabinet, to the right of the sliding door? It only has on or off. My previous boat had a similar switch which had 4 positions..... On (to use and charge the starting battery by the alternator) Accessory (to use/charge the house battery) Parallel (to use both batteries to start) and Off.

1. What does this switch control? When should it be on/off.
2. Is there a similar switch like my old boat? (can the House Battery be used to start in an emergency or some other way to start when one batt is dead?
Thanks, and please be patient with me as I learn the boat.
