Master Switch
Thanks Kirk,
The panel on my LAK is incredibly small and I'm pulling out my hair trying
to figure out where to cram terminal strips.

Dan, that's how I've had my LS6 setup for over 13 years and it has worked
just fine so far.
2 separate busses, one for each battery, with load divided as equally and
logically as possible (split varios and loggers, for example).
In addition, the master switch for each buss can also select either
battery, so if one battery fails (forgot to charge it?) the essential
instruments can be powered by the remaining battery.
Probably WAY over-engineered, but it was fun to wire up and has worked as
designed so far (ugly to look at, though - bit of a spaghetti factory
behind that small LS6 panel that I want to clean up some day...).
