    I am trying to locate the hot lead that travels from the battery to the house panel. I have a twin engine setup with teo batteries. Each engine having its own battery connection. I want to add a house bank and separate starting engines. Anyone have a pdf or site to refer me to?
    Thanks!

    mjnappe,

    Welcome aboard! You've got a good boat. I once owned the same model with a single engine: fast, economical to run, and good in heavy seas.

    Try here. There is a lot of good information here, as well as Pacemaker owners who have found sources for the information they need. http://www.pacemakerboatowners.org

    There may be a much smaller diameter wire running from the positive battery terminal with the heavy cable leading to the engine starter. If I recall correctly, it is a 12 - 14 AWG wire. It might be tape wrapped with the starter lead, so hard to see, but one of your batteries should have it. Otherwise, try tracing back from the house panel?
