I thought I had a pretty much complete set of drawings for my LRC, but just discovered that I am missing CED38, referenced by another 32V Drawing. I believe CED38 is a drawing of the DC panel/fuse box in the engine room.
From what I can tell the "Parallel solenoid" should be in this panel, but I don't see it. Wondering how it is wired.
Thanks
Its in the back, top, middle of the panel between the big guest battery switches.Quote:

Also, can you (or anyone) explain why the Parallel switch has a Port position and a Starboard position? I would think parallel simply connects the two banks together, so this is a bit confusing.
BTW, I only have one starting bank and I'm looking to split that back into two. That's what go me started on this project.
it has both positions in case one bank is dead, the solenoid needs power to connect so you would push the switch to the good battery bank side
I'll check my drawings tomorrow.Quote:

ok, that makes sense.

I have a parallel switch at the help and on the flybridge, so I'm guessing my LRC had dual banks at one point. Looks like it won't be too difficult to split it back to two banks. 32V charger does have up to 3 outputs. Will probably need a 32V Isolator so the alternator can charge both banks.
