After a recent secondhand boat purchase I sought to upgrade the older solar install. To this end I reached out to four different vendors, not initially intending to reach out to so many but after the first vendor obviously had no idea about my wishes I moved on to the second, who appeared to understand just what I was wanting to achieve and offered to email me prices and availability etc, crickets, no response over a week later, so onward ever onward I tried retailer number three, same parameters but I sensed that the woman that answered the phone either failed to understand or perhaps just wasn't interested. Once again no response after waiting so I tried to contact victron direct to establish if what I am wanting to do is reasonably viable, no phone contact available so sent an email to their published address, no response. The email didn't bounce back, I wasn't wishing to purchase through them, just needed product guidance.
On to vendor number four, one that I had previously bought from and after explaining my wishes they offered guidance and promised a detailed quote, which arrived in my inbox within the hour complete with options and prices. Thanks Preston offgrid, a business that I have to recommend and would happily use again.

Oh, the task? how to connect the start battery from each motor and the house bank to one solar controller in such a way that allows the solar to charge all three batteries as needed while allowing the engines to charge the house while they are running without interconnecting all three batteries permanently.
