Have them wire in a series/parallel switch from the two most appropriate 12v
battery banks. This was a common item in the 70's, 80's over the road
trucks. 2 12 v banks of batteries that tied together to run the 24 v starter, yet
charged and ran everything else on the rig with 12 v. Wow, I haven't seen or
heard an air starter since I left the Kenworth factory in 1978. A couple of
the fuel delivery companies were spec'ing air starters at the time.

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,
