    Just had the air starter on the Cat 3306 replaced with an electric starter.
    Wasn't paying the attention I should have, was away from the boat, and the
    Cat Dealer installed a 24V starter, and I imagine it's a done deal. My
    house bank is a large group of Trojan batteries wired for 12 V, my
    Inverter/charger charges & uses 12 V. My gen set starter is 12V. The
    alternator will be a Leece-Neville 12V. Ugh!!

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Do I get a 12-24V transformer for charging while underway & a 24V charger
    for dockside? Do I shoot my other foot? Scuttle the boat? What do you
    think?

     

    Embarrased,
