Since I only have an 8HP outboard, I don't exactly need a super high power, dedicated starting battery, but I'm all about having more AH for house usage. So even if I drain the house (only) bank, the always accessible, easy pull starting cord is a simple solution!
I'd like to replace my smaller, aging dual 12V (starter, house) system with a pair of true deep cycle 6V GC2 batteries wired together for 12V and 215 amp hours. This will be a massive upgrade to house power, allowing me to run my 1000W Keurig on a 1500W inverter enough for 4-6 cups of coffee (only runs about 1 minutes at a time), run lights all night at anchorage, maybe a TV, powerful laptop computer supply, etc.
Anyway, I currently have the ever popular 2-ALL-1-OFF Perko switch. Should this be totally removed, or is there a way to safely use it as just a simple Off-On?
