Topic: Mystery Switch

In the trunk of the boat where the battery switch is located is also a grey toggle switch that appears to have no purpose or so I thought. Today it got accidentally switched in the up position and the engine battery was somehow disconnected. As such, the boat would not start. The house battery continued to function fine. Returning the toggle to its original position and the boat started up. The main battery switch was in the on position in all cases. Any idea of the switch's purpose?

It may simply be a way to disable the starting of the engines. __________________ Larry Back to Top    Mikesf "Seaman" Joined: January 13 2007 Posts: 24 Posted: May 24 2010 at 17:23 | IP Logged Just got back from the lake and had the engine die just as I was docking. The engine cut out when I move the shift from forward to reverse. The engine would not restart nor would the drive lift up, almost seemed like a dead battery. But when I fiddled with the mystery switch and the isolator battery switch, the engine started. This time the mystery switch was in the same position as when I left the dock this morning. Any ideas for a solution? Back to Top    INWATER "Seaman Recruit" Joined: January 01 2000 Posts: 21 Posted: May 26 2010 at 10:29 | IP Logged I can only speculate. My 310 came with a owners manual that includes an electrical schematic. I suggest that you take the time to study it. The switch may also be going bad if fiddling with it alowed you to regain power to the engine. __________________ Larry Back to Top
