[QUOTE="scroggs, post: 207913, member: 5948"] First... complete novice with boat wiring here Second... My general layout is to have a marine starting battery in the stern and a trolling battery in the bow of the boat. My plan is to have a forward center console and mount a bus bar there, wired from the starting battery, that will be running lights, bilge, gps/sounder. Question- If i get an onboard charger- that is mounted in the bow area, can it be attached at the busbar to charge the stern starting battery? This would be to avoid running heavy gauge wire from battery to bus and also charger to battery. It seems like my busbar basically moves the starting battery terminals to the bow of my boat and therefore I could attach my charger to those pos/neg busbars to charge. Am I way off base here? Am i making any sense? Thanks [/QUOTE]
