Anytime you connect 2 batteries together in parallel you risk shortening the battery life. If one is weaker the other will attemp to charge it. Charging them together or seperate wont change that. If you charge tem with 2 chargers you will have to disconnet the batteries from each other.

Thanks for the info. I am going to put in a block to make it easier to remove wires if need be. I got the switch because I have been fishing in tournaments and I want to keep the batteries seperate so I know how much life I have left in them.

I would do 2 just so you always have a backup. When you are all electric and you run out of battery you are dead on the water.

I purchased a battery switch for my (2) 12 volts. I have a 60 volt electric outboard so the batteries are only for the trolling motor and the other electronics. I am going to hook the 2 negatives together and run all the grounds from the electronics to one of the batteries ground. For the...

Thanks for the info. I will get the Stradic.

I currently have a Symetre and I am thinking about getting a Stradic. Can someone who owns both tell me what they think about them. The Symetre is a nice real but if you are using it in the rain sometimes it seems to stiffen up at times. I was trying them in Bass Pro but the Symetre seems...

I did one 15 years ago and like you I didn't not seal it. I sold the boat and trailer last year with it still on there.

Here is my latest. Grizzly 1754, all electric

Just joined tonight. I have looked at this site a million times in the past and have found the info great. I build my 3rd boat last year.
