Re: third battery hook up

I would suggest skipping the 3rd battery - OB connection. I don't know the specs of your motor, but I have a feeling that charging 3 batts maybe more than it can handle.

If the 3rd battery is a deepcell used for house loads (no trolling motor or other larger drawer) then just get yourself a plug in charger and charge the battery before going out.

Re: third battery hook up

You can certainly do this since. You leave one battery dedicated to one engine. You then add a battery switch or an isolator and a second battery to the other engine. That engine will have responsibility for charging both batteries and the other engine needs to operate as it always did.
