Thank's guys. The credit goes to Roland @ Audio Technologies in Houston. We wanted something literally bulletproof and he along with Omar and Tim @ Wetsounds came through. Forgot to add pictures, but some might be happy to know that you can fit 2 485's on a '07 and up tower w/ braces. Tim, I'll get you some good pictures when I finish cleaning the interior.

What's the point of putting a 4 bank charger on a bank of batteries that are all connected? Doesn't that just make them one big bank and therebby eliminate the need to run 3 of te 4 lines from the charger?
Not being a smartazz--really wondering!? I haven't hooked mine up yet, but figured it pointless unless there were disconnects between all the batteries.

According to Dual Pro:
"They can be used on batteries of differing state of charge, age, capacity, or type. This is handy in marine applications with a starting battery and a trolling setup, where the trolling batteries, tend to be significantly discharged, and the starting battery only needs topping off and maintenance. It can also be used for series strings of 12 volt batteries for 24 to 48 volts. Each battery gets its own positive and negative connection, and the microprocessor for each bank does not care if they are series or parallel connected. This is useful in 24 volt to 36 volt systems where one of the 12 volt batteries in the string is tapped for 12 volt loads like communications, GPS, radar, etc., and the batteries end up imbalanced. A 24 volt to 48 volt output charger used in an imbalance situation would not properly charge the pack and fix the imbalance."
They assured me the banks would charge and balance individually even while connected. The technical explanation they gave me seemed plausible, although my knowledge of the concepts they were using is basic at best.

Very Nice.
It does no serious harm to have the charger and batteries wired this way. Its really no different than having isolated batteries on isolated banks since the batteries are normally used as a single bank anyway. This is just like having a large single bank charger on four paralleled batteries. However, there is no way a multi-bank charger can read different profiles and run different programs into paralleled batteries.
Seriesed batteries are a different story because the four batteries would charge in isolation since the seriesed circuit is not closed until the trolling motor, switch, etc, is 'on.'
If I had cascading banks to bring on line with the alternator selectively then I would definitely need isolated banks for AC charging.

Thank's Brian, and yes Erin dated one of my next door neighbors in College Station, fun chick.
Tro, we are usually on Conroe, but travel for the events around Houston and so on. If your out my way shoot me a message.
Joe, the main one is an old StreetWires unit that I can't seem to find any more. The single one is JL.

Like that distribution block. I could only find the kind that takes the maxi fuses. Since it only distributes to four amps is that the 5th amps power wire sneaking in the under the main wires?

I noticed your power and ground are off the same battery. The should be on opposite ends of the battery string.

Matt, looks awesome. Did they cover the red metalflake? I didn't think that would be too easy to do.

J, off the power to the JL fused block right next to the large one.
Hate, Interesting. Again seems logical, wonder if David is around to comment.
Mike, they had everything out of the boat and took it down to Fiberglass. Sprayed the 40th Ruby Red flake for me, but for some reason could not get it looking right. I had been thinking of a 45 in this color so thought what the heck.

Matt,
Regarding Hare's assertion about the ground cable... I can't make a definitive statement about that just in case we've done the same thing.
