Our 2860 has 4 batteries and I'm having a difficult time figuring out the wiring.
There are 2 battery switches (port and starboard). Anyone else have this setup?
Thanks.

2000 Pursuit Denali 2860 4 Battery Setup Question
Pictures would help a lot. I could be wired a number of ways if it been altered. A wild guess with 4 batteries and only two selections, of port and starboard, is 2 batteries wired in parallel for port motor and 2 wired parallel for starboard motor, and your house tagged on somewhere(not ideal). You should have house batteries, and switch for house, then I'd guess it would be wired 1 battery for each motor, and 2 batteries wired parallel for house. You gotta give us some more info to help ya out. Goodluck!

2000 Pursuit Denali 2860 4 Battery Setup Question
Figured out the wiring last fall and truthfully, I do not like it.
Battery Switch 1 (Battery 1 & 2) is connected to starboard engine AND acts as house bank. Battery 1 or 2 (or both) can be used to start starboard engine and power the panel (house).
Battery Switch 2 (Battery 3 & 4) is connected to port engine. Battery 3 or 4 (or both) can be used to start port engine.
So batteries 3 and 4 cannot be used to start the starboard engine in emergency nor power the panel.
Also, this is strange. The battery charger (4 bank) is connected to the selector switch somehow. If I have the switch on OFF, batteries do not charge. So when connected to shore power with charger ON, I have to leave the 2 selectors on ALL for all the batteries to charge. 2 charging banks on the charger are utilized instead of all 4. Shouldn't the charger be connected to batteries directly?
