Will be taking delivery of a new Hewescraft soon and I believe the dealer is wiring the kicker to batt.#2 and the main to batt.#1.My question is,can I run either motor with perko switch to both,or will this cause either motors alternator to back feed each other? The batteries will be GRP.31 AGMS.
Be sure to take a moment to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, though I understand you've not yet taken delivery of the engine.
Your dealer should be utilizing Service Bulletin 2019-04R1 to determine the correct materials, isolator, acr or battery switch configurations. There are several approved configurations shown in that bulletin.

Thanks for the reply Don,however I’ve had no luck finding this service bulletin.Maybe only available to dealers?My problem is dealer is 300 miles away and I want to make sure things are correct when I pick up the boat.The dealer rigs very few Mercury’s mostly does Yamaha and Honda.To my knowledge this will be the first pro xs they have done.Could you send me a link or a pdf of the bulletin?Your help and knowledge is much appreciated.
Sorry- can't send copies due to Copyright. Your dealer should have access to it through Mercury's Dealer System (MercNet).
Unfortunately that bulletin does not come up "automatically" under specific engine models as it's a general Outboard Bulletin (example- you won't find it under the engine serial number in the Parts Catalog).

Dealer is going to wait until they get engines in a couple of weeks so they have ser.numbers.Sounds like that won’t help find the bulletin.I’ll let them know.Thank-You Don and HAPPY NEW YEAR!Originally Posted by EuropeanAM
In the meantime, they should be able to pull that bulletin up on MercNet, so they can determine what components will be required (ordered separately from engines).
