    Battery isolator with 3.0 alternator

    I was wondering what kind of battery isolators you guys use. I have a Merc 3.0.

    Pro cons to either kind?

    I have used the diode type in my truck before and it worked fine.

    I run a GUEST 2530 series isolator and have zero issues with it, keeps both batteries charged.

    I would recommend a BlueSea CL-Series battery link, not an isolator. Google their site and it will all be explained.

    I checked out the blue sea. I have used those "smart relays" before with mixed results but never the Blue Sea brand.

    Anyone else?
