Edd - Going with a single on/off is a good call, if you have a dedicated
start battery and separate house bank. I had a great wiring diagram at
<http://www.wbryant.com/StellaBoat/Projects/wiring/bigwires/> but just
looked at it and realized it's eleven years old. I guess the point is
that you should design your system to be flexible and avoid a single
vendor solution. You (or the next owner) will eventually be replacing
all the components.
Yeah, I can update the drawing. I'm just sooooo busy these days.
(Taking care of business...)
The big thing about having one big house bank is: drawing your
batteries down hurts them. It's better to tie all your batteries
together and take them down 20 percent before recharging, rather than
burn half of them down 50 percent. I know those numbers don't match,
but a load on a small bank reduces capacity faster than a load on a big
bank.

use an echo charger for the house bank.
I know others on the list have done this. Does anyone have a wiring diagram
they can share?
