Ok guys first time here so ill try to explain my situation as best as I can with pictures.
I am trying to add a BlueSeas ADD A Battery sys to my 2003 Caravelle 218 witch is a Deck Boat with a 5.0 mercurser.
I guess I am stuck on a few spots there is no fuse panel and I am assuming that the switch panel is taking its place so I tried to trace the main wire from the switch panel back to the motor witch I believe I found but am not 100% sure. What I think it leads to is a 50a breaker.
So the question is If this is the main wire from the panel would I just disconnect it from the breaker and place it on the add a battery switch. and if I do that will it mess with the ignition or do I just connect the add a battery switch to the same terminal?
Next question there is no ground bar to connect to either. Can I just connect to the block or battery?

The Add a Bat is for the house side, it wouldn't connect to the motor (50 amp breaker or other)

Now if you want to add a second Bat as a backup, this would be a bit different

What is the 2nd Bat for?
