I originally started out with the jr. model and had several problems with it. I exchanged the unit with the vendor ( Joe's sporting goods) in St. Paul. Joe's upgraded me to the new model with I.R. Again I had problems with the unit. Thier customer service was great but it got to the point that I was on the 4th unit. So I contacted auqa view through thier web page e mail. I received a call from a customer service rep minutes later. I sent the unit in and received it back repaired a week later. They said they had to replace the camera and it would cost me $55.00 and the shipping to them $8.00. I guess Im not happy with having to pay more money , but who is! I will from now on use this camera sparringly and handle it with kit gloves. I will certainly say that thier customer service is far better than average and the repair is done promptly. Over all I would say they have all of the qualities a good company should have!

I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought.
Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just
buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it.
I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.
Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to
get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius)
says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
