my wife would not allow me to buy the expensive boat I always wanted so I settled with a 19' 1981 Viking deckboat with a mercruiser 470. Which I know has multiple design issues including only a 37 amp alternator. So anyway I am looking to add a few components to my boat to bring it a little bit closer to what I want.
I have bought a stereo system that should shake the lake and plan on installing a second deep cycle battery to run just the stereo.
In the future I plan on installing a trolling motor but was told that I need to get a stronger trolling motor that runs off of 24v. This would include installing 2 more batteries.
Questions:
1. Is there a trolling motor out there that would give me enough trust that would run off a 12v battery?
2. Is there a faily cheap switch that would be able to switch between batteries?
3. Is an alternator conversion necessary to get more amps to power all this equipment?
4. What would be the best way to install all this equipment (diagram please)?
