So this might be a really dumb question but I was hoping to wire my merc 15hp efi to charge my house batteries when necessary. Would this need to involve a switch so that I'm not relying on my house batteries to start it? I'm trying to ditch the honda I have because as quiet as it is it's not silent and I have to run it on the dock so the fumes don't get to us. I figured on those longer trips when the boat sits for a couple days it's nice to keep the house batteries boosted for the fridge and other amenities. I was thinking about getting a solar panel otherwise as I have the control panel already installed. Good idea or bad idea?
