Hi. 2022 Montauk 170. Battery switch is Blue Sea 6011. I went to take the boat out last week. Put the switch to the on position. 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!

Review the manual, look at the battery wiring.

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.
