I purchased my 1985 Montauk 17 with a Perko dual battery switch and two batteries. Whenever I start my boat, I use the "all" selection on the switch to get the engine to turn over. Generally I just leave the switch set on "all" while I'm cruising around. Is there a better way I should be using the switch for charging the batteries, using the accessories, etc?
