Sorry for the slow reply Kent, I use my Perko switch different than most people, I have it hooked up just like you want to hook up yours. There are two positions that are on, as you know. The first position I have hooked up to just my trim switch and instrument panel, the rest, including my main motor starter and other electronics are hooked to my second position switch. That enables me to just raise and lower my motor when putting it on my transom saver and charge the battery on my I-pilot remote control from the power going to USB port on my dash, without having all the power turn on for the whole boat. I have been able to put all the wires on the entire boat to those two post and it has worked out fine.
I had a Perko Switch on a previous boat that I owned; so I know that they work great. My question is can one attach multiple wires to one Perko Switch. For example, does it have one place to attach the wires for starting the engine and other locations for attaching all of the other wires? I don’t want to just be able to cut off the power to my outboard when I turn the switch to "Off". I want it to cut off the power to everything on the boat.

Does the Perko switch have places where one can connect multiple cables to it?

Yes the perko dial type switch works, good, I have one, you can change it form 1 to all batterys, I put my ground on the switch(fiber glass boat) when I plugg it in I will turn it to all and all 3 batterys charge, long storage turn it off, my batterys where still charged this spring,

I have a Perko switch and a new trim switch (the main one on the outboard itself) ordered. Hopefully, my trim issues are behind me.

Kent, Email sent.
Also, I thought you already had a Perko switch on that boat?
