Got rid of the old Pro Mariner battery charger and now just use the charger on the Freedom inverter charger. Installed a Blue Seas ACR and rewired all to ABYC specs. The space between the stringers allows for the batteries to fit athwartship.
THANKS NIGHTSKY!
Would you have any photos? This is exactly what I wish to do, however, was going to start off with 4 GC batteries and see if that is enough. The original configuration had the 3 batteries lengthwise between the engines. Did you place all 6 in that position and then relocate the main starting battery and the generator battery? That is what I am thinking. I also would assume you have no battery box for the GC batteries, but use protectors on the posts. I also would access the main starting battery (POS 1on the MBSS) and the house (POS 2 on the MBSS) and then run a lead directly to the genny battery. We plan on staying on moorings more this summer and I just KNOW that one deep cycle 12 volt battery Carver supplied won't cut it as far as refrigerator and other things go. THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!

Pretty much as I was thinking. I am going to start with 4 GC batteries and expand from there. How long can you run your refrigerator on this set up? I am hoping to be able to run genny for say an hour in the morning, then again before bed. Hoping the battery bank will keep refrigerator and whatever lights (ALL LED now) we use going all night, along with a couple of air circulating fans. I am trying to get away from paying for a slip each night. $40.00 for a mooring is a lot "friendlier" than $200.00 for a slip! Although in the dead of summer a slip it will be so the A/C can run at night.
