ronniet	posted 03-05-2009 12:22 PM ET (US)         My boat contians two batteries.The batteries are linked with a PERCO dial switch,Problem is only one baterry works! Dial position #1 works position #2 no.Both batteries are new and charged.I wonder if it could be linked wrong or the dial switch is faulty?possibly there is a fusable link that I did'nt see upon inspection of the battery cable's?Any thought's, Thanks Ron
