1995 Bayliner Capri 1950 battery connections

[J-Alvey]

Is there anywhere on this site specifically for Bayliner Capri owners? I have a few electrical questions. The battery compartment has two sets of cables: One set is thick POS/NEG cables that I assume go directly to the starter. The second set of POS/NEG cables are slightly smaller (thinner) gauge wires that appear to give power to the accessories on the boat. This is factory wiring. Wondered if using two batteries to run the two sets of wires would take the strain off of the starter battery connections.

if you have a battery switch, then you have two batteries. if not, you have one.
