RE: Winter Project I: Charging System Upgrade

Nicest is a special , usually AGM start style battery very near the windlass or bow thruster.

Charged from the engine it will provide BIG power for a short time , and you can get by with smaller cabeling (price 40 ft of 04).

The batt will not out gas and is your "Ace in the hole" should you kill everything else.

It should start the noisemaker , to charge the engine batts , if required.
