Hey All-

Last time I let the kids run down by shut down list. They left all of the battery switches on. Both my battery were totally dead. I disconnected then without taking pics like an idiot. I think I got it right. Please see the pics below and let me know.

My question is this. With the start battery only I can turn the engine but the head system with the LCD screen does not turn on. When I flip the house switch it does.

Previously by start sequences was always to have both starter and house turned on so it seemed that everytime I turned the engines the LCD was on. I assumed the starter and the LCD were both powered by the starter battery. Now it seems like they are not. What’s the deal? Am I good?

Thanks
Mike

Looks good to me. On my boat, the start battery only powers the engines, everything else is done on the house battery.
