I have a Moultrie D55IR trail camera that I have only run in video mode. When triggered the camera will take one still picture then run a 5 to 30 second video. The problem I have is that it seems the camera will not trigger unless you or an animal comes within 3 feet of it. Moultrie says this could be due to low battery strength. My batteries at the time indicated 80% but this may be too low for the video mode.
I see Moultrie has a 12 volt solar power pack but some say you really need direct sunlight for it to charge effectively. Is there any reason why a person could not hook up a 12 volt motorcycle battery to the power port? Seem like a heck of a lot better than trying to run the camera on a few flashlight batteries or a $90 solar charger.

We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha
motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will
want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke
Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions.
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
