Battery Cutoff Switch Explained

[@guymiller9212]

Cool video. I’m gonna check out your brackets. Hopefully power coded is available.

It’s very nice of you to include the hardware. Much luck with your company. ☘️

I got one tonite, thanks for the fast shipping AND hardware.

In the mail!

hi great video instructions, does it matter which red cable you connect to the switch posts?

[@rocketcityoutdoors]

No

[@Filling_tags]

My two trolling motor batteries are in the bow, my cranking battery is in the back. I’d like to have a switch for both. Would it be simpler to have two separate switches? Or also a 3rd switch for my accessories?

[@rocketcityoutdoors]

Yes, this switch allows for emergency jumping of your cranking battery from your trolling motor batteries, that is all

Do you know how to remove the knob on Blue Sea System battery switch that has a removable knob for lock-out? Mine is a 6007 but the knob does not seem to just slide off. Thanks

[@rocketcityoutdoors]

Hey I don’t think the 6007 has that option. See here: www.bluesea.com/products/6007/m-Series_Mini_Selector_Battery_Switch_-_Red Documents - installation - instructions

@@rocketcityoutdoors - Thanks. I thought I saw info showing that switch had removable knob. My previous bay boat had the battery switch inside the lockable console, this one has the switch in a non-lockable storage area right below the helm (easy access). Even though I only take my boat on a couple trips a year staying at a canal house or lake house, I don't like the idea about the battery switch location.

[@rocketcityoutdoors]

I’m not opposed to doing custom brackets for unique locations. If you ever need one, hit me up!

[@natebyers1562]

How did you measure the holes for the screws?

[@rossevans1774]

Maybe your brackets would look a little tidier if the back of the brackets were concealed behind the drilled holes secured using bolts with washers and locking nuts.

[@rocketcityoutdoors]

They will work like that if your bilge lip will allow it

[@Damian-xc7km]

How do you know what size switch is needed?

[@rocketcityoutdoors]

Based on the voltage and amp rating of the equipment you are isolating with the switch
