Old thread.
I have since sold my 41 and now have a 50 Open. Neither boat has a dedicated battery to the generator. The 41 pulled from the stbd engine bank and the 50 pulls off the port bank.
To add to the original question of this thread, my 50 has 12 batteries. 4 each on port and stbd as engine cranking batteries and 4 mid as house. Somehow the mid and port bank combine and power the house. Still trying to figure that one out but just haven't set in the engine room long enough to trace all the wiring.
