Finally figured out why I was getting 13v
« on: July 25, 2020, 10:45:37 AM »
Decided I never use both batteries and it’s just extra weight so went to remove this dual battery switch. Found out why I only ever got 13 volts. Running 14.4 now with a traditional single battery set up.

Why did you have the two batteries, camping or just as general backup?

It has them when I bought it. I figured all cv23’s were that way but then after taking it out it looked like it was added. With the camper top that came with this boat I think it did a lot of overnights so the extra battery makes sense for that. I just never really needed it.
