The FP provides 120v
power to the
boat just as does
shore power. Your A/C battery charging system should include an "echo charge" or similar device that provides charging
power to the starting battery as well as the house bank(s). Note, though, that some echo chargers will not kick in until the house bank has reached a pre-set state of charge that, depending upon your system, may or may not be adjustable by the user. If you have difficulty, it will be with the charging system, not the
generator.
In re:
manuals, all of FP's
manuals are available for down-load on the Company's web site. Be sure, however, that you are choosing the right manuals for your particular generator as there have been several iterations of FP generators. If you have a specific issue/question, you can contact James Gagnon in the
service department or Jeff Till in sales at
800-508-6494 or 954-462-2800. Both are very knowledgeable and very willing to help.
FWIW...
