NOTE: To bring this circuit up to modern standards, the hot (black) from the two shorepower connections must remain separate. To accomplish this, make the changes shown in dotted RED: Water Heater Terminal Box Stove => Isolate the breakers for the 2nd shorepower loads by removing the jumpers to adjacent breakers, shown with RED Xs. => Connect the 2nd shorepower hot to the newlyisolated breakers => Add new jumpers around the optional shorepower breakers to reconnect the standard shorepower breakers.

Starting Battery

This shows starter wiring for one engine, with the return going directly from the starter ground stud to the battery negative terminal. The engine block is connected to the hull through a second wire. This should be more reliable and deliver more starting current. It requires one less large cable. It is easy to isolate the engine block from the hull for troubleshooting. This circuit is standard on many diesels. Alternator

Hull

This schematic shows one way of wiring two engines to two start batteries. Either engine can be connected to either battery, or both. There is an issue with the alternators if the switches are moved while the engines are running, and this must be taken care of*. This circuit requires two extra large cables to connect the 1 terminals and the 2 terminals, and a ground plate isolated from the hull that takes return cables from each starter and each battery.
*Some battery switches disconnect the field before switching, otherwise a diode can protect the alternator output from voltage spikes.
