Oh dear. Crossy, owner of Scooby2 isn't going to be a happy bunny! He had his eye on that very boat which I believe Mark Banks was advertising at Southampton at just fishing boats. If he was interested, rest assured it must have been a good price.
I can't wait to tell him. devil

do you think it would be worth me getting someone to fit a 2nd battery with an isolator switch.thanks.kevin

If you have the physical room to fit a second battery, definatly. You have two options, an automated switch system where the battery supplying power to all the electronic toys is isolated from the starting battery. The auto function kicks in when the engine is providing charge and recharges both batteries. The simpler, diy system is to feed and receive battery power by fitting a manual battery switch on the dash and wiring the batteries to this and the engine. The helmsman then controls the battery switching. Both is selected when the engine is supplying charge and just the battery designated to power the instruments when the engine is off. A simple system to fit and use, you just have to remember to isolate the starting battery when the engine isn't running. George.
