Aside from the system being woefully inadequate for a 350 with way too many bells and whistles, is there a reason to use a marine CRANKING battery as a house battery (a previous owner's peccadilloe, perhaps)?
Time to look for a solar panel system..... | I'd say someone sold them a Marine type battery and the person didn't know the difference. Ditch the grp 24's and get grp 27 deep cycle RV batteries.
