[Mobile-Portable] Amp installation

Sat, 26 Jul 2003 01:43:34 -0600

I vote for a solenoid switch, allows pulling power from both 
batteries if needed.  If the battery is going to be located in the 
cabin, I vote for the sealed type deep cycle battery, I think the 
name is something like Optima.

Be sure to run fairly stout wire to the auxillary battery, I suggest 
4 ga or 6 ga to be sure to get good charging current.
