Hi all

I think its about time I rewired my boat, It"s currently a horrible mess.

At the moment there are two house batteries and one starter battery.

On the supply side there is a wind generator and a prop generator and of course an engine alternator. I am going to add an Electric Windlass and Bow Thruster to the boat.

I will also be adding some solar panels.

Im thinking that I should keep the starter battery for just that, starting. Im just trying to get my head around the idea of say adding another house battery to compensate for the extra equipment (Windlass and Bow Thruster) or locate them in the fore cabin on their own bank.

Any advice would be gratefully received. As would a wiring diagram :)

Thanks

Thanks Hasbun
I would say that the proposed 24v system would only be used for the bow thruster or the anchor windlass. I can 't see them both being used at the same time.
I 'm guessing an isolated system would be OK running at 24v, I 'll need to check that though.
