Or swim along side to get up to speed, then jump in,. put it in gear, and
away you go :-)

Nothing worse than having plans to use my boat, only to find I left
the fish finder on or the kids left the stereo on. BATTERY DEAD, PLANS
CANCELED, ME CRABBY!

Does anyone have a shutoff switch on their boat battery to avoid this?
If so, what type?

Thanks, Marko

Thats not a good enough reason to cancel a boat trip! ;)

You could jump start the boat (make sure not shut off the engine until
the battery is charged enough) or bring a spare battery along :)

Thanks all. I want a simple manual switch. If I forget to turn that
one off, I don't belong on the water. ;-)

==================================
I have a set up with 2 batteries using a Guest selector switch. I can
choose either battery or parallel both. And shut both batteries off
while I'm away. Works just fine...

Hope this helps.
