Neil, the switch is here:
http://bluesea.com/products/5511e . There are four posts. When turned to "on", the switch makes the two circuits independently (engine and house). When switched to "combine", the switch connects both circuits together. When "off", both circuits are broken, disconnecting the batteries from each other and their respective circuits. This switch comes in a kit with their ACR (automatic charging relay). For our simple two-battery day-sailing life, this is sufficient. If I was cruising again or had a slightly more complex battery bank system like yours, I'd want more control I think.
