Lower power switch funtion MF 795

I've thought the lower red power switch is only for the outboard motor but are there additional funtions? I'm trying to figure out the meaning of the sticker under the switch. Does it mean the lower switch also connects both batteries in parallel? My dealer says it's just a misplaced sticker.

Connecting the batteries in parallel is useful when you have a weak battery and need to start the engines. The picture might also suggest that it connects the batteries in series, but I seriously doubt that would be the case, because you would have to have 24V equipment along with the normal 12V stuff.

Can you trace the wiring to see what the switch does? In my SO35, the wires are visible in the engine compartment, so this would be pretty easy.

Thanks for your input. I guess I have to trace the wires to figure it out.

Our 2020 795 just has the engine, and house battery stickers. Those stickers aren't even put on properly!
