Timely question 87 - add me to the curious list.

I've got the 1315 sitting on the shelf (for when I reach that point in the rebuild) plus an Optima blue top that came in the boat. Looking for ideas for the second battery, as well?

Another question is should I run all the accessories (stereo, amps, bilge, blowers, lights, etc.) off the auxillary 2nd batt & leave the primary solely for starting? Or just the stereo & amps (~1000 watts) off the second? How do you guys have it all split up?

Also for those with the 1315, do many of you tie the "auxillary assist" circuit to the ignition key for automatic boost starting (I saw one poster? that went the manual switch route)?

Thanks.
