Hi all
I bought a second hand plate boat and am looking at installing a dual battery system using the Blue Sea switch system:
www.bluesea.com/products/7649/Mini_Add-A-Battery_Kit_-_65A
I'll end up doing a complete boat re-wire as all the wire's copper - I've never done it before so fun times ahead!
The boat came with 2 start batteries - one connected and the other is a back up which is stored separately (i.e. not connected) which is brand new. Can I run both batteries using one of the start batteries as the house battery without having to buy a deep cycle battery straight up?
Engine is Yamaha 115A.
The battery that is currently connected is a RACQ/RACV etc brand #7501 CCA 600 RC 125
Spare battery is a Seamaster Gold # MFM50 CCA 640 RC 140
The electronics that it'll be running are the gauges, VHF,UHF, sounder, and stereo, nav lights.
I think I know that I'll be up for deep cycle battery.......thought I'd ask the question!
cheers
