| Post subject: | Battery isolator |
I had a problem starting Sunday evening heading out to spend the night. When I hit the start switch the starter just clicked. I spent the morning trouble shooting batteries and found out that my battery isolator is apparently bad. I was able to wire around the isolator and the boat started fine. Now I need to find the part number for the isolator to order a new one. I had checked this system last year and I thought I had the model and part number of the isolator but now that I'm home I can't locate it. Does anyone know what model is on a Vista 278. I of course have two batteries and one alternator. I was thinking it might be a Marinco 2530 but I'm not sure and I wonder if there isn't a better option out there. I've had electrical issues in the past and I wonder if this isolator hasn't been malfunctioning prior to this failure. Is this a good time to add a third battery? Thanks, |

I see no one has answered you. check this link out: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=n ... 58&bih=806 I have always used a combiner, never had a isolator. The isolator is a better option, but the price is a lot higher. I will say, that the the 2 combiners I have at a cost of $60 each has worked for me, on a 3 bank system. But it times, I had to turn them off & on. Were with the isolator, it is all automatically done for you. |
