I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but here goes a million and one.
I'm putting in a new Perko switch(old one had a crack) and have a question about the grounding. In the directions, for 1 engine and two batteries, it says to ground the batteries to each other. Previously, they were grounded to the engine block. Which is better?

Cool, thanks for the help guys. I think I'll just keep it the way it was. The batteries are on opposite sides of the driveline, so I think it's better to ground each battery to the block.
