I picked up a new Blue Sea M-Series Battery Switch this afternoon. I’m looking for some good instructions on how to wire it.
Thanks

What type of switch? On\off or dual battery? Also be sure to use the correct gage cable or you could have a fire hazard. Try googling what you are wanting to do and select images, there are lots of diagrams out there.
On/Off switch. I want to be able to kill everything hooked up to the main battery.

I am guessing that it will be in line to the pos pole of the battery! make sure you use a good grade marine Stakon connector on both side of the switch! try putting liquid electrical tape over the connections to help with corrosion.
High amperage circuits, on a boat, and one that impacts safety is not the place for a learning opportunity. Getting wires in the right place is not that difficult, but making good connection with heavy guage wires and lugs that remain tight and corrosion free takes the right tools and know how. Get a professional or knowledgeable friend to help.
