Electrical is FAR from my strong point so....I have a Perko batt switch in my lower helm. I usu. run it on BOTH when underway for the first few hours and then switch back to "engine" only. I don't use my house bank very often though. (mainly just lights, radio, anchor drag etc.) Somehow the PO had managed to kill two 8Ds in less than 2 yrs, I assume it was due to having the shore power running the old Guest batt charger all the time? Is there anything wrong with doing the way I am now? I don't even have shore power at my dock now. I have replaced the 2 8Ds with a group 31 (starting) and 2 Trojan 105s (house) last month.
