Gettaway, on the house wiring, I seperated the house wiring from the engines and used switches and continuous duty solenoids for my 12V usage and charging systems. It's completely automatic and easy to do. I posted about this some time back. If your interested you can do a search for the post.

Do you think you'll have enough power with the smaller motors, and what props will you use to push 16000# loaded? I guess it won't be too bad at trawler speeds which is more enjoyable anyway. I know a lot of people that have gone up in power but not too many going down in power. I will be real inter...
