I asked Tige M.D. about this (on this site a while back) and he said they work great...until they break. I think that they break rarely, but if the isolator breaks, you are guaranteed two dead batteries.

What do you mean guaranteed?

Great Job on the Senior Member....Always were gifted with gab!

I have been looking at the Hellroaring Isolator, anyone have this one?

If the isolator breaks you do not a mechanical device to switch to the good battery.

Here's a good handle for Nicky

Nobody really bought that his new keyboard!

WHAT'S THAT SONNY, I CAN'T HEAR YOU. YOU NEED TO USE BIGGER LETTERS. Sorry about that. Just installed a new key board today. Yes it was actually stuck in caps.

Uhhhh, I'm confused. The isolator runs between the two batteries right?
Now if the isolator did break, wouldn't it just cut power to the second battery? If you are using the first battery to start with and the second to run accesories off of, wouldn't you still be able to start. Worse comes to worse, couldn't you just disconnect the isolator and link the batteries?

Can you use the isolator set up with the three battery rig like we have? Is there an advantage to it if you have the three like we do? Right now I have the Perko switch... Thanks...wrangler

[wrangler]

BTW, I too am humbled to be posting with such esteemed senior members!!!

While I currently rank number 18 on the post list, I think we should probably have a three word post whore thread on the off topic area for those competitive fools like me who want to make the top ten!!!

[talltigeguy]

Nickypoo,

My understanding is that when an isolator breaks, it usually breaks in the position of linking both batteries. Therefore, you run the accessories for a while thinking you are only running one battery down, then poof! you can't start your boat.

Wrangler,

The isolator can be used with multiple batteries. One guy on wakeworld (grant with Sound Illusions) uses an isolator for 1 starting battery and 9 (yes, NINE) batteries for the stereo. Someone asked where to mount their Perko switch once and he responded to mount it in the garbage and get an isolator. So there are some very knowledgeable people who like isolators.

[Tequilasun]

Nicky,

I understand it the same way as Talltigeguy. When an Isolator "breaks" it is stuck in the two battery possition.

Perkos, isolators, combiners oh my!

There is a lot of ways of getting this done, I don't think anyone has the perfect way nailed yet!

[NICKYPOO]

Ahh, yeah that would make sence. Thanks tall!

Ya know, I've never killed a battery in this boat before. I think I'll just stick with the isolator for now. So long as they break in the open possition, I'll chance it. The new head unit I put in has a volt meter that I can keep an eye on if I'm too lazy to turn the key and check the volt meter on the dash.


See that? Edited. Yeah. No "one more thing" posts here. No "filler" to pad my numbers. Just pure 100% Tige Geek.
