lilith Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I always turn the switch of when it not in use. In yesterday afternoon, when I went for a swim break, I noticed I could turn it on easier than normal but after I turned it off for a while, it died. What happened to it? Should I buy the new battery switch? It's just a year old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cyclops2 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Some information about the boat ? Make age number of batteries ? We are not there to see it. Can you post a picture of the switch & the wires attached to it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phillbo Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Yes, replace the switch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rreale Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 probably replace. you could take it apart(if possible) remove the rust and lubricate with dielectric grease. you shouldnt need to turn the batteries off for a swim break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike226 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The same thing happened to me. The back of my Blue Sea switch fell apart. They replaced it with an updated version at no cost. Make sure you disconnect the batteries before removing the switch, wires connected to the rear of the switch might be loose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had the same issue with mine. It's a known design flaw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cyclops2 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Where is quality on a simple part ? Good Grief Charlie Brown !! The boat controls are now thousands of computer parts. What is their reliability and their input sensors ? Is the computerized boat really to find any possible way a owner has unknowingly violated the warranty ? Then refuse to repair the problem ?
