Well, i guess we could debate for hours, but if you are running on both, you are only charging to the voltage of your weakest battery. It is fine for 99% of the time when your batteries are fine, but if one goes and you don't know it you are screwed.

And blue seas is not junk. it is very good stuff. i don't know if it is made in china, but the stuff i have used is very high quality stuff. i have used their switch panels, fuse bars, and batery switches and they are all built real tough and it is all very high end. extra heavy duty made with good materials.

But, you have me thinking on the isolated batery setup. maybe it is a good idea. i am going to look into it, maybe it is the way to go, although I have never seen it on any of the small boats I have had or been on...

i bent my wookie
