Need some advice,
I recently purchased a 21 foot Trophy Hardtop with mercruiser outdrive and a 8hp Honda kicker. I want to add a second battery, not sure about wiring. I see a lot of online info and the more I read the confuser I get.
What i think is have one starting battery for the main motor, and a deep cycle for the kicker.
I want to use the deep cycle for the house wiring, but want to make sure it gets charged while running with the main motor also.
I may also want to add a crab puller or electric downrigger later. which battery would I use for those?
Confusion over battery switchs, and Isolators and Automatic Charging relays.
Should I also consider a third battery for house wiring? Space is limited for batterys
