Can someone explain the proper operation of the Battery switches in 1987 Bayliner 3270. I have 3 batteries and 3 switches. An accessory battery switch, an engine battery switch and a 1, 2+1, 2 switch. It appears that the 1, 2+1, 2 switch only pertains to engine starting. Is that correct or not? I assume that because with the 1, 2+1, 2 switch in the off position the accessory switch still operates the accessories.

From the factory, there are only 2 switches. On/off for starting & house battery. The 1/2/on/off is not factory.
Impossible to say how it's hooked up.

Probably a parallel switch, allowing you to link engine and accessory banks in parallel. Useful only really if your engine bank fails.
A lifetime of racing everything from dinghies to world girdlers, but one of those lucky people who just love being afloat. So .... when the body doesn't work like before, it doesn't mean staying ashore.

Here is the setup in my boat. I assumed it was factory. The middle one is engine and the one on the right is the accessory. As I mentioned the switch on the left do not turn off the accessory.
