At the cost of greater complexity, go to one of the relay based systems. For simplicity, use a manual dual battery switch.

Rich,
Coming into this a little late, but i'm on my second isolator (first one i thought was bad) and i'm experience the same voltage and amperage drop. With the accesories on my amps plummet to the point that my radio cuts out. Naturally, this is unacceptable, and so i've been searching a solution.
I have a 82 60 with the stock alternator (sucks) and a standard surepower 100 amp isolator. How would i wire it so that the voltage drop is not an issue?
TIA
Rob
