For a reliable continuity check the wires must be disconnected from both ends.

Tell that to Clarke Chapman ;) It's what they called it and they don't come much more "British" than them😵‍💫 A capstan has a drum for...

Paul, In #25 in light of #36 Fig 1 appears to be top Brown one alt, output to Red to where? Middle Brown does nothing because of diode...

Methinks a physical trace of the cables is required! Some notes and drawing along the way? If #36 correct then I think, could be wrong...

Why would you want both on together?

Yes but the first picture shows the engine batteries @ 14.21 with the diode in circuit and the second is lower with the diode shorted...

For Paul. I am a bit confused with that set of readings and diagram. The Headline states Starboard Engine Only. The diagram then refers...

I think that from the OP's original post he has a 2 pole switch, hence 6 connections. Maybe adding to the confusion. If that is correct...

Try reading the post before letting your belly rumble! 😵‍💫 :ROFLMAO:

He said nothing else connected. However, good thinking and all worth checking (y)

I may be being a bit paranoid here but that wiring on the diode splitter looks suspicious. I would have assumed, perhaps incorrectly...
