I just replaced the main starting battery on my SX190 and will be upgrading my stereo with an amp and speakers, also tower speakers when I get a tower.

The BEP Yamaha setup is out of stock. I'll be keeping a single battery, and two batteries wired in parallel for boat electronics.

What do you folks have going that you recommend?

Pics are appreciated as well.
 
Search adding a battery or multiple batteries here on the forum. There a lot of different setups, installs, pics and walk throughs.

I added a house battery to the port side and a 2 battery switch. The second battery serves just the cabin amp, and is used if the starting battery is not up to the job. A third battery on the starboard side is on its own and serves the tower amp, the system works great. I have a noco 3 battery charger onboard.
 
Looking at some people's setups and what my needs WILL BE (no amps, subs, or tower speakers, or cool lights, YET), I think I'll be going with a BEP 716 switch setup, and 2 house batteries in parallel, with a Noco Genius.

Which Noco is best for 3 batteries, but only 2 actual banks? The 10x2 and let one bank charge the 2 batteries in parallel? Or get a 3 bank to charge all batteries separately?

Thanks all!
