When I bought my boat the PO had put a battery in the pilothouse which I think ran the radio. I pulled it out as it was an odd setup but now that Ive completely redone the electronics I am starting to think about it again, specifically what are the critical systems if you have a complete power failure at sea, for instance in the event of a fire.
The setup I am thinking about is a single large 12v battery in the pilot house hooked up to charge from the main system.
That battery would then power the following:
NMEA2000 Network
Furuno GP33 GPS (through N2K)
Icom M506 w/ DSC (GPS through N2K)
Icom M806 w/ DSC (SSB) (GPS through 0183 from GP33)
Has anyone else done something like this and if so what were the critical systems you put on the secondary power source?
Thanks
