Hi Relayer YES is the answer first do you just want to start the engine or do you want to check/change the battery. John
Start the engine....

Never worked out the logic behind a starter battery for each engine, once one has started there's an alternator helping the second start, when given some free batteries I did a little test, both engines with 30 seconds pre-heat and cranked simultaneously from winter cold, both fired up fine, it was a 90ah agm from a 5 year old BMW (manufacture date stamped on battery post).
In normal use you never start both like that and always have a domestic bank to boost from.
That makes sense to me and maybe something I should look at for future. Any tips on jump starting in the meantime?

If it has two engine batteries I would think it has an isolated for each and a third for domestic.
Correct. isolator for each starter battery and a third for domestic/leisure.

Cleopatra 850. Two 1800 Ford diesels.

Have also noticed that with both isolators switched off I still seem to have power at the ignition keys. Had assumed that with isolators switch off there would be no power at the ignition keys.

I believe I have just have two isolation switches, one for each engine/battery.....boat is very new to me.

I have a twin diesel boat and one of the batteries may be flat.....shall find out tomorrow. Is there a specific procedure to jump start the flat battery from the good battery?|
Many thanks.

Looking for service recommendations for my boat based at Stalham. Twin ford diesels and volvo Stern drives.
Also general maintenance of Eberspacher Heater, Jabasco sea toilet and fitting of black tank. Plus maybe addition leisure battery on the solar system.
Many thanks
John

White not yellow. Have seen the yellow one shown as sold on the waterside marine sales website.

What sort of boat and budget may we ask, sometimes people hear of boats being sold before they go to brokers.
Budget wise.... anywhere between 10 and 25k as I'm happy to look at a project.
4 Berth min, decent outside space, diesel ideally but not really put off by petrol. Have looked at Freeman/Seamaster style and more modern sporty! cruisers

Although we live in Norfolk, we have never really used the Broads as much as we should, other than a few day boats over the years and a weeks holiday back in the early 80's. Things are about to change. A weeks boys ( OK, we are all in our 50's. 3 of us ) only holiday in September which will consist of meandering on the water, a few glasses of wine, a little fishing possibly and some great meals in some great pubs hopefully. And.... I'm looking to buy a boat, but they are selling so quickly that is proving harder than expected. Looking forward to catching up with all on here with whatever questions may arise.

Have decided to try a Noco Boost GB70 in the event of a flat battery. Also I have a solar panel which I assumed was only charging the leisure battery.......need to check if its charging the starter batteries.
