BATTERY Revised System Overview:
After installing 2 #24 Start & 1 #27 House battery a check was made. The Charger will not reach the 13.7V required to energize the VSR if the battery is low. If the time needed to do this is acceptable, than the original wiring for this setup will work. I chose to change it to charge the Port and House batteries with the STBD battery charged thru the Parallel Switch while on shore power, since I normally run the house systems while I work in this mode. The Battery Meter confirms their status.

Relays can be seen, top row, at the left and right of the House battery switch.
Emergency Parallel switch for the 2 start batteries is in the bottom row, middle, directly below the House selector switch.
These switches are all in the "ON" position.
This allows GUEST 2610A Charger to charge the 3 on-board batteries.
The how: the charger is wired to the Starboard and House batteries directly, allowing the Port to be charged via the Parallel Switch.
When either Start battery reaches 13.7V the VSR will cut in, the charger can thus support them all.
