If you really want two batteries I would recomend they be the same. That
way they will come close to charging equally when the battery switch is in
the both position.


Thats what I do on my 24 footer and it works fine. I usually start up
and run in the "both" position so that everything gets charged up. If
we stop to anchor, I switch to the #2 position until ready to leave.


Do you have any arrangement to make sure both batteries charge the same or
do you do alright with the practice you described? I didn't realize I would
have to deal with more issues than a second battery and a switch!
