[QUOTE="Bob Landry, post: 242870, member: 7025"] It will not hurt to have the charger hooked to the cranking battery. Run everything else off of the TM battery. I would not have anything draining on the cranking battery. Worst case, you can always limp back to the dock without lights and a TM if you have to, but I wouldn't put anything on the CB that would put any kind of a drain on it. It needs to be dedicated to the motor for starting. You might want to look at the Blue Sea Automatic Charging Relay. It connects both batteries when there is a charging source. it would allow you to "top off" the TM battery while you are running to the next spot. Every little bit of charge helps. [/QUOTE]
