Bones:
Thanks. Yes, I am really excited. I go to California to pick up the
boat in early Sept.

HI Gary,
I use a group 24 (C+D 12-270, 75ah) for batt 1 and a small 17ah for
batt 2 aboard the M23. I have on board charging and shore power so
solar is not required. For the M17, I have been using a 31ah and a
7ah.
AN AGM group 24 will supply lots of DC for a long time. However, a
solar panel of moderate size will barely float charge it. You will
also need a regulator-discharge blocking module inbetween the panel
and the battery. I found one for Theo at Northern Tool, part #
336606-2601. They also have solar panels. www.northerntool.com.
I would recommend a small on board regulated charger to use when shore
power is available.
When is your new M17 arriving? I'll bet you're excited!
Later,
Bones
