Stus-List Inversion of Battery Switch Wiring
Thanks Joe and Gary. I thought that too, but wanted to sound out the idea. Now I need to think about the bilge wiring as I read some posts here on wiring one pump directly to the battery etcThat is another good what if question; Wire the float switch to the battery and the battery dies, wire the momentary on to the battery, the boat sinks Cheers!

It is just a switch, you can use it for this or anything else you want to.

Stus-List Inversion of Battery Switch Wiring
Here is an oddball idea that I thought I'd float by the list: Reverse wiring the standard 1-2-All-Off switch to accomplish the following (context: I have an electric motor, so don't charge my batteries off the engine) Wire the 2 -27 house batteries in parallel, then feed the output to the standard switch which then in one position powers the cockpit panel, the other for the main panel and combined for both panels. I am completely re-wiring my boat and will end up with 2 panels and don't want to run from the battery to a main, then to the cockpit panel, because the cable runs waste energy, so I want the two panels run directly from the house then to their respective devices. Call me crazy, but let me know if this might work. I have an old switch which I will use to test the concept outside the boat, but just wanted to get feedback. Let me know.
