When out running on Sunday, My GPS, Depth, and Bilgepump, started acting funny, like they had half power?? I troubleshot it yesterday, and it seems its the battery switch. Works fine on Batt1, and Both(when switched from1), but if I go to Batt2 it screws up, and when I swithch from 2 to both, it stays screwd up, until I go to1 or off, and back to both. Seems something internal to the switch is screwy, anyone ever seen anything like this???

YUP, the 1-both-2 kind.

I had one go goofy, but it was on a saltwater boat. For 30 bucks each it was easier to replace them than to screw with them.

This one has seemed a little funny since new, I am going to change brands to Blue Sea Systems this time.
