Karl,

Find a proper marine charger with independent outputs.

There are lots of them available.

The one in my boat is a Xantrex Truecharge 20/40 and has three
separate circuits and an optional remote status panel and battery
temperature sensor.



we got a Pro Mariner:
ProSport20 Plus Triple 20 Amps 3 12/24/36 VDC

Does three batteries. We plan one for starter, one user and a spare
just sitting there for a failure. Getting somebody to jump you while
off shore in a 20 knot wind is a problem.

If we have 20 knots of wind - no problem!
(Don't need the motor then)
