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
Guest
To anyone willing to give advice:
I am looking at buying a new trolling motor and fish locator for my boat.
I currently have a 21' Triton with a Motor Guide 107# thrust trolling motor. The reason I want to change out the trolling motor is mainly because of interference with the puck transducer on the lower unit and the torque of the trolling motor itself.
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with a PinPoint trolling motor and fish locator. The PinPoint has 5 transducers in the lower unit and is supposed to do a great job steering the boat automatically. I have also heard the PinPoint locators are some of the best on the market. So good in fact that you are able to see a split shot on the line in 20' of water.
Yesterday a coworker told me that PinPoint has stopped making trolling motors and has been bought out by Motor Guide.
I liked the idea of being able to connect the motor with the built in transducers to the locator with a single cable and from what I hear interference is all but eliminated.
The motor and locator would mean a large investment and I thought I would get some opinions from people who know before I spent the money.
Also the largest motor of this kind that is available that I can find is 80# of thrust and didn't want to under power the boat. I read on another forum that it should handle the boat because it is a true 80# thrust motor, whatever that means.
Thanks for any advice in advance and good fishing!
Thanks,
pleve
