It's just a 15 amp fuse directly grounding the ACR.

Absolutely the best on the planet. Not cheap. I have 6 of them on the "big boat", most quality builders spec them.

Not sure why both batts went down I'll leave that to the smarter guys - with set up you have- try moving the switches so they point towards the lower part of the bidge and put some sort of a cage over them as mentioned. By cage, it could be anything that will work even something like an upside down tupperware with slots, just something to keep the crap out. Tough being so far and not being able to check it except every week.

I ordered the switches, thanks for the recommendation. I toyed with the idea of putting in a webcam so I could see the boat during the week, but the wife said I worry more about the boat than I do about her. She says I'm being obsesive. I thought it was a great idea.

I discovered one bad battery this weekend. That click click sound when you attempt to start the motor is very unpleasant when 6 miles from the inlet. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Now both are new. This is battery switch currently installed. It is the only electrical device I didn't replace in 2004. Looks like it has to go too. Thanks for the recommendation on the battery switch.
