I would use the alternator to only charge the cranking battery. Most boats don't run enough on the water to charge the cranking battery back to what the fish finder pulled it down to. I know mine doesn't. A short, cheap set of jumper cables would let you crank the boat with your trolling battery in an emergency situation without having to unhook things.

Do you already have the switch? Them things are expensive to have one rated to pull starting current and last. Just use deep cycle for everything else and do what fur said. I've got a little solar charger that helps keep a little charge on deep cycle battery during the day. Or you could buy one of the 2 bank chargers and charge both while your running.

Just remember once you put a charged battery in parallel with a discharged battery they are going to try and equalize. If you can still pull start it that might not worry you too much.

He said he was putting an alternator on it. "Maintain" just means charge. Battery doesn't care if it is from a rectifier or an alternator.

Ha in the current setup that would do nothing but piss me off as I am trying to take battery connections off and on.
