Re: Battery Setup - 1998 405 Aft Cabin
bud37, you are indeed correct, no matter what the battery switch is on, power is applied from any battery connected to the switch (Bank 1/2) The winch is powered no matter where the switch is and if either (Bank 1/2) is disconnected. Sadly, the labeling is deteriorated to the point where the labels are not readable. Thye must have a common connection in the switch for available power that cannot be seen visually.
The Charles Charger is very strong for the 1999 age at 13.5 Volts.
It appears to me, a larger (than what is installed today) battery Interstate SRM-31 Group Size 31M 675 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) 98 Amp Hours 13 " (L) X 6 3/4" (W) X 9 5/8" (H) is the way forward. What works today is fine, but I worry about the 12/120 Norcold fridge for running all day which is why this started.
Thank you ALL for the input as it helped me to see more than my own view with limited cruiser knowledge. You all are terrific!

Bud37 - You are correct Position 1 and 2 power all the breakers no matter which battery is connected or not. The Windlass same thing it is powered no matter which battery is selected.
The Charles charger is outputting 13.5V and appears to be doing well as the batteries (Bank 1 & 2) Continental 27 TM -165 are from early 2019.
It appears to be since these batteries are functioning as needed just more horsepower is needed to achieve my goal of running the Norcold 12/120 Fridge for an extended period of time. I have decided to replace each of the Continental TM-27 batteries with the Interstate SRM-31 Group Size 31M 675 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) 98 Amp Hours.
Thanks for all the input as it is greatly appreciated. Having another point of view with my new eyes as a Cruiser owner has been valuable.

Re: Battery Setup - 1998 405 Aft Cabin
I don’t know why they connected the satellite dish power directly to the battery, but that’s the way it is connected. I’ll add that to list of things to correct. It’s not critical, but should be connected elsewhere.

I wonder what's going to happen to a lot of the satellite-based TV systems when things like Starlink get more widespread deployment.
