Thanks, I have a call into the broker as well as the surveyor trying to see if I can talk to the past owner.
Actually..thank you for the kind compliment cardude!
For the OP.....I was serious as can be.
There are auto switching devices in charging systems that may be working, maybe not. My auto charging relay didn't work so I replaced it with a battery switch.
A pretty savy guy could figure out my whole ele trick system in an hour or two..,but an inexperienced person may never figure it out.
It is 100 better than the way the boat was set up to begin with...but as more batteries and systems were added...the system became a tad more compicated.
For the most part it meets all ABYC recomnendations, and is pretty bullet proof and simp,e once explained. Even better..it is easy to troubleshoot which many systems aren't because they are automatic and hard to isolate each component.
So again..not to be mean..but unless familiar with new and old tech...and a rapid learner of what can do what...figuring out multip,e charging sources, multiple loads and multiple battery banks is for someone quite advanced....not a newbie.
You CAN do it...but why struggle when there are tons of guys way smarter than me floating around all over the place that for a cold beer or two will help you figure out.
