16 242se, standard 2 battery setup. I just picked up the boat yesterday. Is it normal that both battery switches have to be on for the connext/dash to power up? I would think you could turn off the start battery when hanging on a bar and just keep the house on. This doesn't seem to be the case in my boat. Just want to make sure everything is connected properly.

Thanks

I leave both mine on. With solar panels I see no reason to turn off one battery while out on the boat during the day.

I suspect the connext screen wont be happy if it isnt getting engine connections.
