Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Battery bank main switch

Pat, That was our view-- until we cleaned the contacts to the starter motor itself. It may well be quite different in your case, but you would lose nothing by cleaning those contacts. Indeed, if doing so made no difference, at least it would give you more
confidence in you diagnosis that the switch is the problem.

the problem resides in the switch.

In our case , nothing to do with the switch and everything to do with corrosion on the connection to the starter motor and adjacent solenoid . I would start there first with some sandpaper . Remember to switch off
your batteries at the battery box before you do this .
