My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that. If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh… -

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. -
You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away. -

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.

Question
the big dipper
I'm planning to weld up a smaller size (5'x10') crank up/down style fishouse after the Christmas rush settles down a bit.
Here's my idea: A boat type trailer where the wheels remain stationary. One winch in front(hand crank or electric) operates a mechanism similar to a pontoon trailer lift that allows the fishouse to be lowered down between the wheels, and inside the frame. I plan on making the fishouse so it is removable from the trailer so I can use the trailer in the summer for hauling a lawnmower or ATV. The floor would lower to the ground so that you could drive right on, and then crank it up and secure it in the up position with a couple of hitch pins or some similar system. (Approx. a 12" lift)
I know there are alot of home built trailer type houses out on the lakes, and I'm wondering if anyone has seen, or built a unit with this kind of lift/lower system.
Any feedback is welcome, Thanks Mark Edevold
