The back of the switch will have 3 brass connections, marked 1. 2 and COM.

The positive from battery 1 goes to terminal 1
The positive from battery 2 goes to terminal 2
The COM terminal is the positive out

Connect all the negatives together

do you not have a switchboard olly?

If not then run your fishfinder lights ect from the COM terminal, you then use the switch to choose which battery you run them off
