I was going to ask about why you put a deep cycle battery in the mix. Mine came with 2 starting batteries, i guess they would be called, with a switch. I usually run one one battery or the other each time out. Never ran the switch on both, have no idea why just never did it. So what you are saying is get a starter and a deep cycle. Deep cycle for all the electronic stuff and starter for the obvious. I know you don't switch while underway but if you use the starter to start the engine then how do you use the deep cycle to run the electronics with out switching? Use on both setting I am guessing. Run all your electronics, wires, to the deep cycle battery and nothing to the starter except only hooked up to the switch? Probably showing how stupid I am but I am not proud and no stranger to stupid questions. I will bet I am not the only electricity challenged member. Always want to do things right so any direction is appreciated. Thanks. P.

You can switch it while running, just not to the OFF position.
