amp guage or volt meter

A Voltmeter will take care of looking at the start and windlass batts , as they do not usually deep discharge or have power sources from solar, wind ,shore power ,noisemaker and main engine to keep track of.

The start and windlass will probably be Start built batts , where if you deep discharge them , you toss them out.

The house will probably be Deep cycle , and depending on HOW deep you discharge them , will determine their service life.

All the monitors require a shunt , to me there should never be a shunt in an engine start circuit , as it may act as a FUSE , much ungood.
