Danielwarson Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi guys hope all is well, 2 days ago I purchased my first boat half cabin 70hp Yamaha I bought a battery from bcf today for $250 and now have a spare bosh battery that came with the boat just wondering if anyone could hook both battery's up one for the motor and one for cabin lights etc? Somebody who can work at home and will pay whatever asking price.. Would just rather pay an honest person who wouldn't mind helping out then somebody who will probably charge me $1000 thank u guys Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonywardle Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Did you think about having a go yourself? Its not too hard. I've managed it What batteries do you now have? 1 might be a starting battery and the other a deep cycle?

Danielwarson Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 How long did it take you to get it right? Sent from my GT-I9197 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonywardle Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Its not too hard. draw yourself a picture Get a 1 2 both off switch , a busbar and a couple of inline fuses or circuit breakers. Calculate how much power you will be drawing and buy marine copper and fuses to match. For me, the hard bit was being able to crawl around the boat. 40+ years of football (soccer) has taken it toll) So maybe take a picture of the top of your batteries. Hopefully one says something CCA650 or higher,and the other says DeepCycle 120AMP/Hours You already have the battery that came with the boat installed right and you are wanting to add a second one?

batfishing Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) I would wire it different to above. Use a dedicated start battery, the one that's fitted. Run all electronics, light, bait pumps etc etc off the 2nd battery.....house battery. Run a switch for the start battery and a switch for the house battery, best redundancy practice is to also run an ' emergency Parrallel' switch, allows you to join both batteries together. We can supply switches, and if you discuss and do a bit of measuring, we can supply custom length cables and terminals all ready to bolt in Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Edited March 20, 2016 by Ian Bat (Roadrunner Parts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
