Yes, Another D*** Battery Question This question regards the use of the typical marine battery selector switch. These usually have four possible positions: Batt 1, Batt 2, Both, or Off. Off is simple: cuts ALL juice from the circuit, on startup ECU must go through 'learning' period and clock must be reset. But what happens when switching between the other modes? Are these switches 'break before make' (as I suspect) or 'make before break'? If the former, that means that there will be a momentary interruption of power as the switch is being thrown leading to the question, how long does power need to be interrupted to cause the reset of the ECU?
