Perko for me. Works as it should, very common on most boats

How would I install a Perko switch with my main motor and my Kicker motor. What I just put both motor leads on the same terminal on the Perko switch . Also is it safe to run both Motors at the same time with two different alternators.

Perko has some good diagrams. You can install both leads to same terminal along with any + mainline. Yes, you can run both motors.

I just installed this on my new fishmaster. I have the kicker tied to the house battery and the big engine tied to the second battery. The ACR will allow each engine to charge both batteries at some level based on need. It also provides isolation between engines from what i understand

Switching the battery switch with an engine running causes a surge in battery voltage and your engine diodes blow out under the hi voltage. See the warnings on all the cheap switches displayed. There are switches with the engine charging automatically disconnecting the diodes before the battery is disconnected .

I use a single battery with my 90 hp mercury and ten hp Honda kicker.

The ten hp Honda can easily started with the
pull cord and it will charge the only
Main battery.
