Second battery installation / additional wiring
Paul, For the addition of a second battery or house battery I recommend that you use a Blue Seas 8083 battery switch / breaker panel. $199.00 from Dave's Marine Electronics. This is the cheapest I could find it. http://www.brokenlegdave.com/Manufacture/Blue_sea/blue_sea_systems_fuse_blocks_breakers.htmAlso if you really want to get a good understanding of 12 / 24 volt electrical systems check out this website.http://www.amplepower.com/ They have an on-line maintained and installation area that is fantastic. http://www.amplepower.com/primer/index.html This is also a great place to start when looking for things for your boat.http://everythingaboutsailing.com/ Best of luck and good sailing, Tim Bastian Zephyr's Aura Hixson, TN
