2016 212x batteries questions

[macnewbie]

I am getting ready to put my (still relatively new to me) 2016 212x away for the off-season. The boat has the factory dual battery setup.

I am probably going to do sound system mods in the spring so I am planning on adding a 3rd battery, a 2-bank on board charger, and an ACR.

As part of this work I want to try separate the accessory circuits and put them on a 2-battery bank and keep a dedicated start battery. Does anyone know whether the factory wiring makes that easy? Is there a place where I can find a detailed wiring diagram? I may be looking in the wrong places, but the service manual does not actually have it.

If you have the factory dual battery setup, it should have an ACR, and already have the Starter and house batteries separated....no?

It's just a straight redundancy setup right now. I can start and run accessories on any switch setting, 1, 1 and 2, and 2

I am also wondering about this with my 2016 212x, added some new stereo equipment and was hoping to move all the accessories over to a 2 battery bank and also have a dedicated starter battery. I have purchased a Blue Seas add a battery and getting ready to wire everything in. I see 3 wires running from battery switch and thinking 1 for each starter and 1 for the accessories. Unless I hear otherwise I will just wire my amps into the 2 battery bank and leave the factory battery switch alone and keep the two batteries separate. Any help would be great.
