Replace Battery Switch
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2022 3:01 pm
I plan to upgrade the electrical system on my Outrage 18. It currently has [a mechanical battery switch that has positions] OFF 1-BOTH-2 selector for two batteries. I believe there is oxidation in the contacts causing a poor conductive path.
When I did this on another project boat, I installed a Blue Sea Systems ACR (Automatic Combinrt Relay) and selector switch. I do not recall the exact model numbers.
Given advancements in technology, do you think [a selector switch and ACR] is still the preferred system to use on an outboard powered boat with minimal house loads?
If not, please offer suggestions on alternate systems.
