Hi Gene,

...as per ABYC recommendations, in close proximity to each bank... As always, Maine Sail offers excellent guidance:

I use the 3 ON/OFF switch described earlier, and think it's a great way to go. Maine Sail likes that arrangement, as well, but mentions that many boats he sees have it wired wrong. The Yandina/West Marine combiner also works as advertised, and Yandina's web site is always well worth poking around, lots of good information there on a variety of topics...

best regards,

Jon
