Need ideas to trouble shoot why is it when I turn the battery switch to dual I get no power to the starter?
The starting battery is on 1 and if the switch is turned to 1 I can turn the key, hear the alarm, and start my motor.
If I turn the switch to 2, I hear nothing, which is correct.
But as stated, if I turn the switch to both (which is supposed to give me the charge from both batteries) I get nothing.
What do I need to troubleshoot?

Dirty contact on the switch. If it hasn't been used in that position for a long time the contact on the both post can oxidize. Try switching it back and forth a few times to rub the contacts together for a better connection.

Make sure its wired right Yea, started creating my own wire diagram based on what cables are labeled and what is obvious like the trolling motor. I've got about 3 cables that are coated in yellow that the dealer had wired to the negative post. Going through my owner's manual trying to figure out what they are.
