Is there a kit or process that would to jump start a Boat that uses two 12 volt deep cycle Marine Batteries?

The CJ3000 would be carried for emergency back-up on fishing trips where the boat is anchored for a few hours while fishing. I presently keep the engine at idel in neutral. Thanks for any information you might provide.

Sort of depends on how your two batteries are connected. If your boat is a 12 volt system, then any car type booster will do the trick, or you could simply add a 3rd battery with a switch. When you stop for a day's fishing, turn the 3rd battery off. Turn it back on for a quick "jump-start" and leave it on for the trip back to dock to keep it charged.

Can a 33amp hour battery be used in a mpv5hoveround

If it is a 12 volt Size U1 - yes. (UB12350, GPC1234, GPL-U1, NP33-12B)
The amp hour rating is dependent on use and manufacturer of the battery. It is the size and voltage that matters. AGM batteries generally have a slightly lower AH rating but recover better from deep deep discharging cycles. (Available at marine stores)
The amp-hour rating affects how long the chair will travel between chargings.

I am rewiring a boat and am having a problem with a couple of wires one red and one black. i know the red is hot, coming from the motor in a wiring harness and the black is supposed to be negative coming...

First thing to do is to check out the red and black wires with a volt meter. If there is no reading then you know that the two wires are not on the same circuit. The black wire may be also carrying 12 volts positive. If those wires check out okay the next thing to check is the battery itself. I recently experienced a similar problem with arcing from what I believed to be a good circuit. It turned out that one of my marine batteries had an internal short circuit. I ditched it and got a new battery and all is good now.

I have a 1000 Watt Inverter, along with a regular car battery when the electricity goes out; Question: Can I use the 1000 Watt inverter and connect a 100 amp, deep cycle battery? I use regular house...

Yes, just be sure connections are heavy enough wire, and obviously the inverter uses 12 vdc input. Hook jumper wires positive to positive, negative to negative, on all 12 volt batteries. Deep cycle batteries will work better than car batteries. Just remember, when re-charging them, that they last longer when charged slowly, so don't use a high amp setting on charger and to monitor them closely, and do it in a well ventilated area, away from any ignition sources.

Where can I find a wiring diagram to install a generator into a boat? I know how to wite the 110 volt side but where do I connect the 12 volt power from the generator into the 12 volt distribution panel?

Installing a generator into a boat is critical to be done correctly. You need to contact the manufacturer of your generator for approval, and wiring diagrams. If done incorrectly (which if you are connecting 12v from gen), you may create eddy fields that can cause galvanic corrosion, not to mention electrical shock hazards.

If your generator isn't marine rated, then don't install it into a boat.

Portable generators can be used, but don't hardwire those into a boat. Just use extension cords to the appliances you want to power.

Convert portable batteries to 12 volt boat ststem, Eagle Super Pro I.D

Cut the battery wires where they hook up to the machine. When cut they might need some more wire spliced to them. Get some alligator clips to put on your red and black wires to hook right to your boat battery. When not in use on the boat get a small 12 volt battery, cheaper then two 6 volt disposables.
