[QUOTE="answer3, post: 378246, member: 15618"] The first thing I will do is clean all the interior as the boat has been sitting outside for a while then get rid of the big electrical cables on the sides that are attached with small bolts through the hull and put rivets with 5200 marine sealant to have the rivets watertight. Before I start that I was looking at a few things in the boat and I would like to have your opinion of what they are exactly. The first is a kind of big electrical switch that has apparently 3 positions and off position. It looks heavy duty so I should probably keep it, but I don't really what it is primarly used for (picture below). Is it to switch between 2 batteries as a power source? My outboard is a pull start so I won't need it to start the engine. I have 2 batteries though, one that I had earlier and the one that came with the boat. How many batteries do you guys use in your boats? Having a second battery is probably useful when the 1st one is empty if I go for a whole weekend camping and boating, but is it too heavy in the boat? [/QUOTE]
