I have a similar situation on my
boat at the moment. Two engine bank
batteries and two house
batteries. Thinking of putting one of the engine batts on the house bank. The engine is a 27hp, 3 cylinder
Yanmar. The engine batts are 70ah car batteries and I haven't had a problem starting the engine with only one, in the past. One should be enough for this engine, no?
