[C320-list] Simplified Starting Battery Schematic needed

Although there is much information on the site and archives for installing a starting battery, I was hoping to get some help on a simpler design.

I have hull #139 with a 4D battery under each settee, one on STBD and one on PORT.

I've purchased a separate on/off switch from Blue Sea, a negative distribution bus, and I intend to buy a group 24 battery and the necessary extra cables and wires.

I do not intend to install a monitor.

I only motor in and out of the slip (15mins) and I plug in every night all night.

I leave the fridge running all the time if stocked with beer, etc.

I use the boat (race and cruise) all year long, and visit the boat at least 2X per week (10mins from house).

Can someone draw out the simplified wiring diagram?  Alternatively, if someone can talk in terms of "take the wire that was here and move it here and add a wire here....etc" that would be appreciated.

Using Jeff's diagram as a guide, where do the wires from the alternator tie into?

Do I need a fuse, solenoid, combiner, isolator for this simple design?  What are the risks of not having any of these?

Thanks in advance, and I will be happy to post a follow up story with pictures upon completion of the project.
