If it's hard to find, it means people who don't belong in my boat won't be able to purposefully turn on my batteries and ruin my day.
My buddies boat bat's were dead one day after kids had been in the boat, doing stuff that kids do. The adults on shore just thought they were jumping off the bow while it was anchored in the cove. He found the ignition in acc, transmission engaged forward, and bilge pump switch on. Luckily no kids turned the key all the way. My last boat the battery switch was in the starboard rear locker. It was a PITA, and we frequently forgot to turn it off.
The new Supra's need to have a T-plug holder that blocks access to the battery switch. That way, you don't forget either of them. The Nautique has the t-plug holder on the dash, which is smart.
I will agree that the battery switch somewhere in the drivers console would make sense, but if it were, I couldn't turn it off after lowering the tower.
