Attached is a diagram that I drew of an electrical system with two engine-cranking batteries and brownout prevention. It is intended for a seaplane that will fly into remote lakes. Either battery can crank the engine. One of the batteries will run a bilge pump. If the engine is cranked using only one battery, then the other battery will provide 12 volts to avionics to prevent brownout. The electrically dependent engine will be powered by the same bus as the avionics. With multiple current paths through two contactors and two relays, the chances of this bus losing power are slim. Good workmanship will prevent short circuits.
Go ahead and point out any faults with this diagram or give suggestions. You will not hurt my feelings. I want to fix any shortcomings or design errors. I used Bob N's Z-19/RB as a staring point, although you might not see any resemblance.

I removed the electrically dependent engine circuits from my previous posting. Attached is a wiring diagram based on Z-19 but with the addition of a second E-Bus relay. If the engine is started using only one of the batteries, the other battery will prevent brownout of the avionics.
