Default trouble starting engine when solar panels are working

Why do you have the solar charging both house and start batteries??
If there is nothing other than the starter drawing of that battery,
why charge it.
You're most likely going to kill it.

I have solar and wind. They go only to the house bank.
The start battery only runs the windlass and starter.
I gets charged by the engine (running) and dockside.
