For anyone considering going to a two battery setup. It was a easy job. I contacted Anthony Cooper at Skierschoice and he sent everything needed. I got the voltage sensor relay, battery box,all needed battery cables,tags( to place on each wire so their would be no questions on what went back where if you disconnected your batteries in the futher) and a wiring diagram.

I'll probably never really need it, but I sure dont want to be caught in the middle of the lake with a dead battery.

My boat is a 2004 Outback.I mounted the battery box just forward of the stock one and placed the voltage sensor on the small wall above the master reset switch. I had it done within a hour.

If any one has a questions or needs pictures of my installation Email me at

I have 10 speakers (3 way) and 1 12" sub. woofer. 1 1200 watt amp and a 5 channel 500 watt amp. The amps have a low voltage cut-off built in that will shut the amps down when voltage begins to get low. When it gets to this point, I start the boat and charge the battery for awile. This very seldoms happens, I usually get approx. 2hrs. play time before having to run the engine. I also have a rechargable battery booster I carry with me all the time. It charges with 120v ac or 12v dc. The battery is upgraded as well.

I know this is an old thread but does anyone have the wiring diagram for this setup. Thanks.
