The OB shop said my engine is in great shape, needed a new oil tank sensor and throttle control cables. For an as-is purchase the Heavens have smiled on me.
A question about batteries. I’m watching a lot of YouTube videos and seeing guys with a cranking battery in slot 1 and a deep cycle in slot two. Use 1 to start and then switch to 2 for all the electronics loads (along with the engine handing back 40 amp/hours if I read the manual right ). I would have thought I would just put 2 deep cycle batteries in, start with both, and the use 1 or 2 as close as possible to 50/50 (even day is 2, odd day is 1, etc) That’s what I’ve done on my sailboats in the past. Thoughts?
