    Second Battery Suggestions needed

    Hi TSCTSC,

    My recommendation would be that you ask the dealer mechanic what will be wired to Battery 1 and what will be wired to Battery 2. A good mechanic should wire your engine and Bilge pump to Battery 1 and the rest of the electronics to battery 2. Then again, you might have another preference. Don't leave it to the dealer cause my experience is that they will wire it what is easiest for their install. Hope this helps

    Cheers

    Yes, I have a feeling that the mechanics would just do what is easiest rather than what is best for the customer although I wish that it would be the latter. In any case, I think I better specify just in case. Also, what batteries should I use for dual? Starting, hybrid or deep cycles?

    Hi everyone. Interesting thread.

    So is it better and less hassle to install a vsr instead of an 1,2,1+2, off isolator switch? I can imagine that I might forget to switch the isolator. And how much is the vsr compared to isolator?

    As for dropping plates, is optima the best then? My dealer says marine century is just as good. Is that true?

    Is there a way to mount the battery on the deck to reduce pounding to the battery?

    Hi,

    Can anyone point me to where would be a good place to buy non-inflatable type 1 PFDs for fishing. This means that they would have some pockets or mesh to hold some fishing gear etc, should not be too bulky and should be quite comfortable to wear and not too hot. I am also hoping to keep to a budget of about $60 if possible. Thanks!
