Smart Shunt Install in a Marine Application

I'm going to install a smart shunt on my/our boat. Here are some specifics:


12 V system, with 3 batteries. all AGM and 100 Ah each

1 single connected to a night switch

2 in parallel connected to a night switch (call it the house side)

For my install I would like the Smart Shunt on the load side of the night switch

My problem is, my system has both a solar and electric charging possible, which in itself isn't a big deal. However, I want to be able to hook the changing system neg to the load side of the shunt to track charging, which is simple enough. The night switch is the problem, and must remain in place to ensure that I can switch off the single battery while, fishing on the kicker motor, which doesn't charge the system and while the boat is on the trailer or moored or docked and hooked up to shore power.

Or, am I just asking for too much of what I have

Any thoughts on negative charge cable installation to achieve the battery isolation, yet, still track the charging
