Thanx - Duke
I would just hook everything to your one battery and keep the jumper for emergencies. Right now I'm running a single battery in my boat. I have a GPS, fish finder, VHF and a stereo, and my voltage is around 14 when running. I keep a jump box on the boat at all times, but I haven't had to use it yet. I have a blue seas acr unit ready to install I just haven't got a chance to yet.
