The little parasite in the bilge
Keeping the genset battery completely isolated*was not*satisfactory as, being a flooded cell, it lost charge when the genset was operated infrequently. However, the gel cell replacement does not lose its charge so*readily and I have isolated it again and will run the genset more often.
Re fusing, the house and start banks are connected via a (VSR) voltage sensitive relay with a 100amp built in breaker.
