Just wondering what you guys think about the dual battery option. I have an a22 with audio pkg 2 and I'm wondering if I need the extra battery. I also might only install the switch with my single battery so that I can kill the power after each day of use. How hard would the install be if I do it myself. Any info would be great Thanks |

It depends on how you use your boat. If you hang out and listen to your stereo for extended periods of time you should definitely add a second battery. It is an easy install (just a tight quarters sitting in the storage locker) - Diagram one is the on I used to hook up the second battery.http://www.perko.com/images/catalog/pdf ... 0(8500INS1).pdf |

I understand how it works but Im just not sure if this is a task that I should tackle myself. A local dealer said $300 for the install they are not an axis dealer they deal in tige, but they are very good with service. |

I was a little nervous about it as well, but as long as you double check everything- there's no need to pay 300 for it. Hook engine starter to common, terminal 1 to starter battery, terminal 2 to accessory (stereo) battery. I'd also run your main power for your amps straight from the common lead as well. Save the extra $$$ for a couple beers after the job! |

It is a very easy install. I install for a living, dont be intimidated by this one. I still need to install the 2nd batt to my switch. |

What brand battery switch comes on from the factor. I think it is blue sea system but I'm not sure. Also I might install a auto charger with the switch what do you guys recommend. |
