Battery selector switch

[STRAGLER]

Im going to install a battery selector switch I have. (quick disconnect in case of)
Cruiser Series Battery Selector Switch With AFD | Marinco
The wiring diagram only shows 2 batt w1 alt. (See pic)
Any ideas the correct way w/ 2 alt?
Thanks!!

My guess would be that it is not possible to use a selector switch like that in a 24 volt CUCV, though hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.

Not with that switch. Perko does make a switch to use with 2 alternators, Marinco probably does too. I've scanned the wiring diagram for you.

Thanks for the replies!!
steelandcanvas: this diagram you posted is w/ 2 switches. This can be done w/the 2100 model I have also.
Cant both alt run to the same leads on the switch since it is field disconnect?
I beleive the AFD (alt field disconnect) is to prevent surge on electric system while moving selector????? Not sure.
Any insight would be great!!
Thanks for the help!!

Good catch, I didn't see that. Yes, the AFD is to prevent alternator damage. Seems to me you would need two switches, as in my diagram. Paralleling the "B" leg into one switch might cause a problem. Bjorn would be the Guy to answer this one.
