Hi all,

I've bought a 24V 160lb Haswing Protruar 5.0. This motor draws 100A max. The motor is powered by 2x 12V 180AH AGM batteries.

I want to be able to do the following:

Measure the voltage per battery to see the state of charge
Measue current draw of the system (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/DZ5Hp98k)
Disconnect the batteries without unplugging. For safety and convenience
Install one fuse per battery
Install a battery balancer/equalizer: 12V Lights and accesoiries will be installed later (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/sDveKfs4)
Convenient unplugging of the batteries, for charging and easily being able to take the batties out of the boat when necessary.

So...

I've made a scheme of all of the things above.. I'm not a trained electrician, so to make sure I'm not making a mistake somewhere and see the boat sink to the bottom in a flaming short circuited mess.. The grey rectangles are Anderson connectors. The charging connectors are not drawn in this picture.

Is there anyone here who can take a peek at my idea / scheme? -> link

bump. First time posts are sometimes delayed. Somebody who can definitively answer you will hopefully be along soon.
I'm no electrician either but without more info on the battery equaliser I'd be concerned that in that configuration when the motor draws power the equaliser may be overloaded. I'm also a bit mystified as to the double fuse and stops.
