I’m looking to install a Blue Sea Add a Battery kit on my 2000 240 Sundeck to separate the starting circuit from the house circuit and provide charging to both. The start side is fairly straight forward. I’m a little fuzzy on the house side – specifically the best way to connect the house feed to the switch. I can’t get to the boat yet (it’s in a drystack and the marina doesn’t open till next week) so I’m relying on the wiring diagram and some quick photos I took inside the engine compartment at the end of last season. I'd like to have as much figured out beforehand. I’m replacing a basic factory installed on/off battery switch. From the diagram, it looks like the house feed connects at the starter (through a 50 amp fuse) to get positive. What’s the best way to connect that wire feed to the switch? Do I just route an appropriate sized and fused wire from the switch to the starter and connect that end to the house feed wire I disconnected from the starter?
