blusea acr question

Hello masters, grasshopper has a question. I am in the process of hooking up the blusea add a battery plus acr unit. Now the question, when I have to use the emergncy combine feature to start motor can I or should I switch back to the on postion while the motor is running. Would this take a chance of fryning my altenator?

Bluwater—

If you're talking about the Dual Circuit Plus battery switch, it is a make-before-break switch and switching it from the Combine position to the On position or vice-versa should not damage the alternator, unless the switch is defective.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
