I have two batteries on my Cruiser. Battery number 1, handles the starting, and battery number 2, handles the accessories. I got stuck a few months ago with a dead (number 1)<br />battery and the boat wouldn't start. Is there anything on the market that would have prevented this from happening? I don't have a battery switch, so I had to jump battery 1 from battery 2.<br /><br />I also wanted to say THANKS for an excellent bunch of guys and gals on this forum. I have learned alot.<br /><br />Larry
