Just got an electric start, 2000, for my sailboat. The motor is setup with two wires that connect to the battery. Wish to use two batteries with a 4 way switch. What do you think.

Re: Battery hook up

You also might consider using a 'Delco maintenance free' battery which is less likely to leak electrolyte when the sailboat is on her side.
