Battery Drain

Will do. How about using an ACR for just one (starting) battery? Does that eliminate half it's benefits, determining the levels between two batteries for charging purposes, and simply use its other function that allows it to keep surges from affecting my electronics?

I'm not  sure what your asking... An ACR is only useful with two batteries. It won't help with surges or voltage drops without a separate house battery.

i switched to AGMs when I repowered my 22-2CCP.  Very positive results - I can run the TM all day on the AGMs with no problem.  A guide friend of mine just recently put me on to Cabela's pure lead batts - 4 year replacement warranty!  No pro-rating - 4 years direct replacement.  He fishes every day and goes through batteries pretty quickly - he says no question at Cabelas - they just swapped them after 3 years of use with new ones at no charge.

So I would suggest you go with Cabelas Pure Lead AGM in the 27 size.  On sale now for $299.  Yes, that's a lot for a battery, but think about the 4 year warranty and the fact that these high-quality AGMs usually last 3 times as long as flooded lead... http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/includes/variants_popup.jsp?productId=1435369&categoryIds=104794380|104698080|104446080&mainWindow=mainWindow1477515939152
