    Battery switch fell off.

    Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement knob for this battery switch. I tried one off Amazon it wouldn't work. I'm not sure what the name of this is. Hopefully I don't have to replace the whole switch .

    Battery Disconnection Location

    Where is the battery disconnect located on the Geo Pro? I have a 2021 FBS that works fine on shore power, but I think the dealer turned off the battery disconnect when I bought it before winter. Can't locate it anywhere and can't find video that shows where it is located.
