With all due respect I would not put batteries on equalize and leave the
boat for any lenght of time - especially the first time - I just don't
trust electronics that much.
Why did the engine quit ?? Good question. I would check the wiring from
the batteries. The alternator requires a battery to "excite" it.
I am contemplating buying an EZ-Puller anchor winch (drum type) however it
does not free-fall. I have been told free-fall is not required it powers
down very quickly!!
