Rinker custom Guest battery switch with 2 knobs and built in breaker panel

I plan on ringing out the lines this March before reinstalling my 4 battery banks (bow thrust has its own). The boat has been ours for only a year. Wiring around the batteries is atrocious. I’m finally catching up and figure out that area while I have the advantage of dead cables. 

I have a few questions:
1. Left knob turned to the left connects one of two starter batteries and right knob to the left I assume connects
to the other starter battery?
2. Two middle switches connect to the 2 battery house?
3. Anyone have a manual for this switch, given it seems to be a custom Guest/Rinker venture?
4. I’m replacing the isolator with the ProIsoCharge btw, but other posts reference that along with pros and cons. Still, it matters which battery is associated with a specific alternator on that isolator, making it important I get the wiring right.

(1) and (2) correct.  I've never seen a manual.  

I never understood the hatch motor override circuit until I took everything apart and drew a circuit diagram.  Details are here:

Thank you. That’s useful info.

You'll have to trace out which items connect directly to the battery, and which ones are switched.  The direct circuits are probably bilge pumps and Mercathodes.  Maybe blowers, but I can't remember offhand.

Also, be careful with the small circuit breakers.  I accidentally cracked one of mine, and the replacement part was not cheap.

Following up, I rung out all the cabling and the isolator is working great on my 4 banks (bow thruster is 4th).
