2006 35' Outlaw (need Wiring Diagram for batteries/generator)
Bought a 2006 35' Outlaw and previous owner removed the generator and house battery. I want to add 2 additional house batteries for stereo upgrades and lost how to wire up. PLEASE HELP, NEED Tunes on the water...

I just added a stereo to my boat and ended up adding two group 31 Napa Marine Deep cells (part # 8231) as stand alone stereo batteries, ie, they are not connected to the alternator or any other accessories. I have two group 24 interstates on a dual battery switch for the engine, so I don't need these two batteries for any other purpose other than the stereo. The batteries are charged nightly on shore or at the marina using this dual bank battery charger plugged into a 120v source (http://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GEN2-Wate...ilpage_o02_s00).
The two new batteries are wired in parallel. I used a blue sea fuse block terminal (http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Syste...ilpage_o04_s00) with a 200 amp fuse (http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Syste...ilpage_o04_s00) connected right to the positive bolt to protect the positive 1/0 gauge welding wire running to the power distribution block at the amplifiers. I also ran 1/0 gauge welding wire for the ground to the distribution block. The distribution block is this unit, and works great for a 2 amplifier system (http://www.amazon.com/KnuKonceptz-KN...ilpage_o05_s00). It's compact and you can use it for both your power and ground distribution. I ran 2-gauge welding wire from the distribution block to the amps for both power and ground.
I ran a power wire from the battery to a switch on my dash that turns on all items in my system - cd player/radio/headunit, remote wire to clarion equalizer, blue tooth receiver, and remote wires to amplifiers. The load wire from the stereo switch is ran to a k4 2 circuit tab style terminal block which looks like this (http://www.k4switches.com/electrical...terminals.html), just with 2 circuits instead of 6. One circuit is the power circuit for all of the items listed above, and the other is the ground circuit with a single ground ran back to the battery.
I just spent the weekend on the lake and was able to listen all day - 6am to 4pm - as loud as I wanted with 1800w of amps and I'm sure it still had a few more hours left in it. I can't see needing any more stereo than I have, except for maybe some more highs or some additional mids on the transom or in the bow depending on your boat setup & personal usage. The two 12's bump awesome and sound great, but I will probably be adding some additional tweeters as I am not happy with the highs. Here is a thread on my stereo, note I have not updated it since installing the batteries and all of the wires/power distribution.
