Thanks. Brad.

Here is what I replaced one of my Aeromotives with:

That is the pump Eddie Yong put in my Velocity. That was 2013. Gone through another rebuild and still good.

Is this not of relevant? Nobody has addressed this specific point.

Thanks. Brad.

I wouldn't charge both batteries on the alternator. That is putting quite a load on the alternator.

I would wait till you get back and plug the house battery into a charger.

The small blowers aren't your issue.

I don’t have it rigged for “start/house”. It is batt1/batt2”. Except for the ECM connected directly to batt1 and Mercathode to batt2, everything runs from the output lug of the selector switch.

Are you suggesting I find a higher output alternator?

Thanks. Brad.
