in theory, with a multiple battery system that is properly kept and managed, you should never need one. on a side note you should also never run with the battery switch in the "all" position, that is only for starting purpose. if you are one of those guys that runs in the "all" position. . . . . . better pick up some jumper cables

With a single, if I have one crook battery, if it's not totally dead, I would have thought running on all batteries might get some charge into the tired one while maintaining the good one(s). If I'm out for the day, I hate worrying that I only have one good one. When at anchor, I always isolate batteries.

I helped out a guy one day at a boat ramp. Had to go back to my truck to get cables. I got him started and he left a big scratch in my boat that didn't notice until I pulled the boat later that day.

Please help me out here, with twins/triples I'd never run in the "All" position, start there if necessary then switch engines to their individual battery(s) to isolate a bad battery or slowly get some charge into it.

I don't carry much in the line of tools these days, but I still carry a set of jumper cables. That said, in 20+ yrs. of boating, many of those yrs. with a single engine and one battery, I only used them once.
