I guess the red block is the Volvo engine. it is a great big station wagon with a little bity red engine. It has an electric radiator fan. . I like the idea of the Alt switch. I have ran the battery down to critical 3 times that the tach and speedo start getting wiggy and I die at the roadside. I have maybe a minute to hook the jumper cables under the hood and connect to the 2nd battery on passenger floor board, The Summer sun takes the fun out of conking out on the side of the road.

Will it hurt anything it I hook the marine battery and the start battery in parallel and charge them together. pResently the Marine battery is on the 10 amp charger and and the starter battery is on the 2 amp trickle ... SC
