I know this has probably been covered before so I apologize in advance if so. I want to add a second battery to my boat to run my electronics when I am trolling and not on the main motor so that i can save a starting battery. I have two ways to do it, a 1-2-all battery switch and I also have a M-ACR and a M-Battery switch have accumulated both planning for the addition. What way would you recommend going? If the ACR relay route then would the M-ACR be enough its a Mini-ACR rated to 65 amps, I have a Merc 115 Optimax. What gauge wire would be required for me to do this? I have been wanting to do this but have resisted as I worry about messing something up. And any other advise anyone could offer too.
