This may seem like a small problem but I've heard that its common in Hi &Dry storage marinas. When I bring my boat in from a long day of fishing, the marina is responsible for pulling the boat out, flushing the engines and turning the batteries off. Some days when I go back out on the water, I find that the batteries where never turned off and sometimes they are both drained dead. The switches are not in an uncommon place, under the center console, but for some reason, they can't seem to find the switch. I watch the guys working the boats in and out of the slips and they seem to look for evey boats battery switch as they remove the boats and flush the engines so I hink they just simply overlook my switches locations. My question is, if I have two switches and just 2 batteries is there a way to wire things and place a switch in an easier place to identify?

Any help would be appreciated. Oh yeah, the guys that work at my Marina have been there for years so they are good with everyones boat.

Thanks

Leave a tag on the steering wheel telling where the switches are. Metal shower curtain clips work great.
