A quick question for you regarding my 2008 F150TXR.

I purchased the isolator lead to charge my house battery. I'm installing this switch to my electrical system (Blue Sea Systems Dual Circuit Plus Battery Switch 5511e) http://bluesea.com/products/5511e

In the rigging guide it says to connect the lead directly to the + pos of the house/aux battery. I was curious if this wiring diagram I made would work. (see attached) The switch above allows me to combine both batteries for start incase of emergency. Normally I would be running in on mode so both batteries would be separated.

I want to make sure if I needed to do use combine on the switch, the charging output, and the AUX isolator from the F150TRX would be safe in combine mode.

wasnt cheap :).
but still cheaper and easier than battery combiners and such.
you wont belive how many hull manufactures and riggers have no clue the Yamaha 150 and up motors already have a battery isolator and have since the 90s.
