Montauk 170 Battery Switch

The trim and engine work fine. But the electronics wouldn’t work until I put it on the combine battery setting. Ran the boat for about an hour. But no change. Came back a week later and now everything works on the On position. Can anyone make sense of this? I’m a total newbie learning one thing at a time so I appreciate your help!

The engine is wired to battery #1 and the accessories are connected to battery #2. # 2 battery has not been getting charged until you switched it to ALL. A 2 battery setup for a boat this basic is unnecessary. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
