So a question for the group about battery switches...
The previous owner on my 34 LRC said he never touched the battery switch located in the salon, and in fact had left it on "both" the entire time he owned the boat (10 years) even when at dock on shore power. What if any problems does this create? Does it add to electrolysis with the engines being "hot" all the time? Is there anything else I'm missing here?
On ALL my previous boats I always used the three way battery switch to turn off the batteries to the engines when I was not operating them.
Thanks in advance for all of your opinions and suggestions.
