Here's what I've got:
Bayliner 210CU with 220 HP Mercruiser. Single battery....stereo is crap, it's now in the garbage.
Here's my plan:
Install a 2nd house deep cycle battery using the Blue Sea ACR switch.
I plan on securing the house battery under the Captains seat, fused w/in 7inches of the positive terminal. Positive lead (4 gauge I think) runs to the Blue Sea Safety Hub 150. (see photo).
The safety hub allows different amp fuses to protect different size wires, all from one positive lead. Each electronic item would be run into this hub, and then grounded on the terminal block included in the safety hub.
Stereo is put on a switch. The amps are connected to the stereo, so when the stereo is off the amps are off also. (I think the purple wire takes care of this?) Fishfinder, bilge pump and nav/house lights all connect also.
Bilge pump stays hot at all times.
Any ideas? Thoughts? Mistakes I'm not seeing? Any advice is much appreciated!!
