Hey Jim, I have the Maxum 2300scr which I bought used and put RIGHTAWAY into winter storage so i didn't get too much of a chance to play with it. Can I ask you how your electrical/battery system is set up? I have been reading here on the site and elsewhere and am very confused re: A/B/Both switches. On my last boat I started on A (Starter) and when at anchor switched to B (House) for electronix. I am pretty certain this is correct but getting contradictory info. BUT also if I am running on Starter Battery is that also charging up the HOUSE battery at the same time? Besides plugging in at the dock, how can I keep the House topped up? Also when at the dock and plugged in, is it charging the House and Starter battery? Just the Starter? Or does shore power follow the A/B switch. Any opinions on starting and running for a while on BOTH to top up both batts then switching to A or B once topped up? (i read that running on both can be bad for batts and alternator) Thanks in advance
