I got this boat last fall and have been slowly tackeling the many need projects and have not had a chance to get around to the batteries. This past weekend the Generator wouldn't start or turn over so the first thing I will check when I get back to it is the battery. That being said I guess I will tackley this next.

Does anyone know what the original setup was from the factory? How many batteries and what was wired to what. I hoping someone knows to save me the time of chasing wires and with the chance it may have changed over the years. My house boat has a cranking battery for each egine and the generator. I replaced the old style charger with a modern 3 bank battery tender. It then has two house batteries that has a 12v powersupply/battery charger combo. I have been happy with this setup and I am thinking of doing something similar on the carver. I know there are two battery switched under the stairs coming into the boat, but I haven't even had time to see how many batteries it has (though it doens't look like their is room for 5 where they are located.

Any help is apppreciated before I start chaising wires.
