F36 Battery Switch

Did the F36 come with a battery switch? Ours has a Off-1-2-Both switch near the batteries, but I cannot find any reference to it in the wiring diagrams.

Here is an old photo from the survey:

My tricab has no switch. Still doesn't, but I did add blue sea battery terminal fuses. Put them on your Christmas list!

I am going to need a very long list to update my wiring and Santa will have to be extra generous!

Dear Santa.

Please get WWG a hydraulic crimper. If you're out of them up north, eBay has them for near $50. While you're at it, eBay is a good source for the bulk packs of battery cable crimp terminals that he doesnt realize he needs yet, and military style battery terminal clamps. You know, the high current capacity ones with the extra stud, which is good for mounting the on-battery fuse holders already on his list. He's been really good this year.

Thanks for the support with Santa! I already have the crimpers, but have not yet sourced any terminals, HW or wire.

My batteries have weird terminals. They are brass terminals with M8 studs into a threaded connection on the battery. I broke one earlier in the summer while on vacation and was unable to find any parts to replace it while travelling, so I stole a terminal off the generator battery. Rolls tech support sent me a replacement terminal once I got home, which was very nice of them considering that the previous owner of our boat bought the batteries!
