I spent $100 paying movers help me try move a pool table into my basement today. I worked my butt and so did they. In the end, we concluded that the table does not fit down the stairwell (actually, we just can't get it started down the stairwell). The head-honcho mover-guy knew his stuff and tried everything he could, but it's simply too big. To make matters worse, I next discovered that I've got a Valley pool table, which is assembled at the factory and the framework of it can not be disassembled. After measuring it a few dozen times, I believe I can get it in through an egress window. However, it's so incredibly heavy that I feel like I need to get the slate out of it to even have a chance- it's unbelievably heavy and I don't want to ruin it, my home, or hurt anyone getting it in there.
I removed all of the bumpers with no problem. Now I'm trying to get the slate out, but it's rock solid. I don't see what holds it down or how to get at it. Anyone know how it would be held down and where I'd need to access it to allow the slate to come out?
Not sure if it matters, but it's an old bar table with the coin exchanger and the ball return on one end and the rack/space for balls on the other end.
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.
