Yep, just got off the phone with Professional Mariner and they're telling me that my Flyback 15-3 is "kaputzche" (that means "its shot") . . . went through all the tests and measured everything with "this" on and "that" off and vice versa but guess my luck isn't exactly holding out . . . . SO . . . they suggested the Pro Nautic P 1240 to be able to charge both the starting batteries and the house battery banks.
Here's what I have now: 2003 yr - 2452 Bayliner Classic Cruiser Hardtop with the "Advantage Pac" and the 7k BTU air conditioning and macerator discharge kit (don't know if it works yet), 5.0 Liter Merc with Alpha One outdrive
#1 - (2) Deka flooded starting batteries (about 90amphrs each) connected to an MBSS under the helm seat and that system NOW needs a charger setup. (although they are being charged by the engine while running, right? or does it need a separate charger?)
#2 - would like to keep in consideration during discussions - solar charging panels (put up on the hardtop) to help charge both battery banks (no shore power where I'm at)
#3 - (2) West Marine SeaVolt Deep cycle 90s (Group 27) for "house batteries" and they are hooked up to a Xantrex Freedom 1800 inverter/charger and also has a mysterious red wire that comes from the back of the alternator post . . . but no return wire (black) - doesn't it need one? Looks like someone wanted the engine alternator to charge the house batts but don't think that is happening the way that it is wired.
I'm in the process of drawing a schematic of the whole system as it sits now so that I can eliminate some of the "mess" that I think I have . . . finding a lot of things that don't work . . . . definitely a project boat (don't tell my wife I said that).
Appreciate any and all contributions and opinions. Thanks.
