NEVER, EVER MOVE THE BATTERY SWITCH WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING......

Switching ground in this manner is idiotic at least, negligent or
dangerous at most. STUPID comes to mind, also.



Yes I know. We all know. In fact I have training and some experience in
electronics, but not marine electrics.

That is why I was asking for assistance.

I did not say that I intended to move the battery switch while the engine
was running, although my switch can be safely moved provided it is not
turned off.

I was hoping for sensible advice, and calling me stupid is not called for.

If anyone has anything useful to say, I would value opinions.

That's another one for my block list!
