Default Re: Electronics wiring question....

Some people like a single master switch for electronics, The sea tow boats use a big Guest battery selector switch to turn off everything but the bilge pump with it's own always on float switch.

A one on one switched instrument with it's "on switch" on the device is dumb and shows misunderstanding of purpose. It's like two in line fuses. More to go wrong and no benefit.
