switch

Hi all, Does anyone know where to pick up a replacement battery switch knob (the red one, that switches between 1, 2, both, and off) for the electric panel (in this case, for a 1984 E28)? I just took over a new boat, and this knob vanished somewhere in the past, and I don't want to be stuck...

1. Can anyone verify whether or not you can switch batteries while the engine is running? I have a placard on my recently acquired boat that states "do not change batteries while engine is running". On a previous boat I used to start the engine with battery #1 and then switch to "both" so that...

I was having problems with my ignition switch (Bosch) which is for my Bukh diesel and was an original on my E31C. So I decided to replace it this fall. When I put it back together now it starts on a dime. But I have just one problem. When I turn it to the first position it engages the starter...

Last year about this time I started a thread about the battery switch on my 1984 30+ which had been broken by marina staff awkwardly attempting a repair. My concern was replacing the switch while being able to maintain the stock panel. I managed to rig the switch to get through the summer...

I discovered an electrical switch located underneath the overhang of the starboard sail-locker, about eight inches above the engine electronics panel. It is a push-button, and is covered by a bullet-shaped rubber cover. I found no mention of this switch in the E-35 MKIII owners manual, and am...

I'm planning to make some changes to my battery system. We currently have two group 27 deep cycle batteries wired as seperate banks. I want to combine the two into one large house bank, then add another small (group 24?) starter battery under the quarterberth. I will add a Xantrex Echocharger to...

After replacing several Rule float switches over the years, some showing almost zero exposure to water.... I would like to change to something more reliable. :mad: I was reading about this product after seeing an ad in 48 North, and then referred to their site. http://www.waterwitchinc.com/...

Good afternoon, Any good suggestion where to put the switch for the temp alarm for the M25? There is only one available port on the thermostat block, and I don't feel like drill/tap another hole in the block, as was suggested by a neighbor... thanks, Jolanda Lena, 1986 Ericson 34...

:confused:Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the Perko Battery switch? Despite having my manual, I'm not clear of the "OFF" selection function of the switch. I still have lights and function on my Breaker panel. Thanks, Del Warne s/v Obligatto

As a proud owner of a 1983 30+ I have benefited greatly from the advice and information on this forum. I wanted to begin by thanking all contributors for helping me get to know my boat. Corsario is in great shape for her age and we have been restoring her and having a great time sailing...

The black plastic knob on the panel that selects Batt 1 or Batt 2 or both batteries has disintegrated. I tried Custom Marine Services but they can't help so I am currently resigned to turning the protruding switch spigot with a pair of pliars. Anyone know where I can get a replacement, please? I...

I was wondering if I need to have the master DC battery switch on "ALL" or "OFF" when hooked up to shore power and charging. The Newmar charger leads go directly to the batteries (it even says right on the case to do this) so I wouldn't think it matters where the switch is. I Googled it and...

I recently replaced my glow plug push button switch on our 1989 E-34. While motoring, I noticed an acrid smell, which turned out to be the 'melting' fuse holder I had added in the new, thicker 12 volt wire, supply line to the ignition panel. What could possibly cause that kind of draw?? Turned...

Just went to the boat last night and found the bilge pump had been running continuously due to a faulty float switch. Didn't have time to fix it, so I just left it off. So here's the question, who makes a reliable bilge pump switch? The bilge is relatively clean, the pump--a Rule 1500--runs...

74 35 II # 325 am looking for the old style toggle switch circuit breakers for the ac panel. hopefully someone who updated the panel saved the old one... thanks greg dalliance 74 35 II #325 happy sailing

I am in the process of changing over to a remote mounted diaphram bilge pump with new Bilge Switch. What is the HOT SetUp ? I have the ole Rule-A-Matic float switch and was looking at the new electronics :confused:

I have purchased a new Blue Seas (part number 8080) panel. Plan is to replace the old 1-2-all rotary switch that Ericson installed in '88. On our particular boat the original switch was recessed into the side of the teak bulkhead right beside the engine. This puts it low and just inside the...

Where can I find a battery switch/panel for an Ericson 30 Plus, 1984? I cannot turn the switch anymore.

Doesn't anyone know how it's suppose to be wired? I've got one side connected to the Electric fuel pump and the other side connected to the positive side of the coil. My question is, is there a third wire connected to the coil side running to the starter soleniod? I've got a brown wire running...

I just replaced the ignition switch on our 38-200 for the second time in two years. The symptom was the same each time, it was still connected while in the "off" position (i.e. fuel pump clicking and power leaving the switch, just like in the "on" position). Any thoughts for what might be...
