I see a fun winter project ahead of me. I'm tempted to yank all the existing wiring out and start from scratch which will probably be the smart and easiest thing to do. Some of the battery terminals have far too many wires attached to them.
For sailingdog - THIS IS GREAT and just want I was after. There isn't a bus bar on the boat so you can imagine the 'stuff' that is connected directly to the batteries. Right now I don't think there is a fuse in the entire boat either. I'll have to figure out what size fuzes to install. I definitely appreciate the time you've spent on this.
For Stu Jackson - Thanks for the links. Both helped understand matters a little clearer.
For nickmerc - An on/off switch was difinitely on my mind for awhile. I think eBay is about to be my friend on finding an ACR/combiner switch and other goodies.
For donradclife - I like the idea of these NOT very cheap batteries lasting longer. The price tag on them says $325 which was 5 years ago. Why the prices have gone up $100 or more is beyond me. Solar and/or wind are definitely on the horizon I think.
Thanks again for the assistance and ideas!!!
