I recommend the Blue Seas "Add a battery kit" with the ACR. If you already have a switch and can wire it with the ACR, then that would be second. Properly installed, it is idiot proof.....so far anyway! [emoji846] Sent from my SM-T820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I troll with a Yamaha 150hp 4 stroke, 3500lb boat. I run Ring Free in the fuel. Also use McMillan for service. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The Add-A-Battery includes an ACR which saves you from having to select "All" when you are running your motor or charging, and then switching to "1" or "2" to keep your "house" circuits from discharging your starting battery. It is mostly a convenience, and another level of protection against accidentally discharging both batteries. Sent from my SM-T820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Might be too late, but I recommend the Blue Sea Add-A-Battery to isolate your starter and house batteries when you are using them, but combine them when charging.....it is pretty much idiot proof. Switch settings are ON-OFF-COMBINE. https://www.bluesea.com/products/category/35/89/Add-A-Battery_Kits

From Webster, NY Emergency Alerts Page: May 2, 2017 3:00 PM Irondequoit Bay High Water Advisory Attention ALL Boaters: Current water levels are much higher than the long-term average for this time of year and are expected to rise. High water levels and wave action cause significant damage to the shoreline and adjacent properties. PLEASE LOWER YOUR SPEEDS throughout the Bay and observe the no wake advisory within 500 feet of the shoreline. The regulated 300-foot no wake zone will be strictly enforced. REMEMBER every boat is responsible for its wake and any resulting damages. If flooding worsens, state of emergency restrictions on speeds and/or wake zones may be enacted until conditions improve.

Thanks for the report. Tough year for me so far. Good to hear some are being caught.

I do exactly the same as CaptSpike describes above for my coated cable for my Depth Raider.
For the Fish Hawk, I rig as the original poster's photo, as I find it much easier to rig and maintain.
Another approach I tried is to use the Chamberlain stacker style release, but I prefer the two methods above as they both allow the release to swivel.
