Gary, where do you locate all those batteries on your 35 MKII? I have two 6V batteries golf cart batteries in series for house supply and 1 group 27 deep cycle 12 V, so about 350 amp hours altogether when fully charged...and I can't find much space on my boat for more than that...only charged form the alternator when the boat is in the water from early June to end Oct...I have had them for 9 years and have not had any problems like Joe reported on charging them with what I think is a stock alternator and regulator on my M4-30 Universal diesel...in fact the shore powered battery charger that I use after haulout before winter storage and before launch also charges them at about 13.8 V...
