Hi Forum,
Got a 30 ft clipper with 80 Hp Ford Lehman.
There are 2 battery banks, 1 dual 12 V 775 CCa for starting
1 200 Ahr as house battery.
The 200 Ah has a 250 A fuse on it, should I put a fuse between the starter battery and starter motor? and what fuse size should I go for ... There are no specs on the starter motor, I guess I can measure it with an AMP meter ....
There is also a 1/2/Both switch than can switch the house consumers to the starter battery, or starter to the house battery, or put both banks in parallel , if that makes sense
Tanks for your input.
