When I aquired the boat, it had a single start Battery wired directly to the engine, feeding a DC distribution panel. There was no AC power. While my power needs are relatively light, I wanted to add shore power capability and a battery charger, as well as adding a house bank for greater capacity while cruising.
What I have added so far is a 3 circuit AC panel, a house bank of two deep cycles in parrallel, a 3 way battery switch, a GFCI recepticle for cabin use, a GFCI recepticle to plug a dual battery charger into and a DC recepticle to plug an inverter into.
The only other change I'm still thinking about is adding a Galvanic Isolator between the shore power recepticle and the AC panel but since I'm not going to leave the boat plugged into shore power for extended periods, I'm wondering if this is overkill.
Btw, the pos. feeds off of the battery charger to the batteries both have in-line fuses not shown on the diagram. The AC circuits are on 15 amp breakers and are wired with Marine tinned 14 Ga AWG, the primary feed to the AC panel with 10 Ga. Marine AWG.
I'd appreciate it if people would take a look at the wiring diagram and tell me what I'm missing or if they would change anything,
