Not only that but the BMS boards feed off each other and need power. The other is the usual having batteries in parallel and them talking to each other.

At some point it would be helpful to us that planning on converting to Lithium Batteries at some point , to hear your lessons learned on the batteries and BMS to keep us from running into some of the issues. I assume you have an main contactor that electrical isolates the main battery bank from all boat systems.
