this depends on the battery switch. if the switch disconnects before making another contact then you could have a problem. this is caused by a voltage spike/drop when there is no battery hooked up. the switch in my boat is designed to make contact with the next position before it breaks the last one therefore always being connected to one of the batteries or both. I still don't move it when running just out of habit.
