Upon installing the Stay N Charge wiring on my truck and icehouse, I noticed that the plug ends on both units are the same so that you cannot use the system without plugging in the center wire to both plug ends.
There is a simple fix for this, I cut one of the ends off the center wire about 10" in and did the same on the icehouse end. Just switch the two plug ends using a yellow wire or butt connector and the Stay N Charge will hook up like a trailer light hookup without having to mess with the center wire. If you ever need the center wire for the extra length, it will still work.
I believe when Jim built this unit he was only thinking of boats with the plug on that end having to be hooked up to the center wire to hook to the truck, with the plug end being the same on both units a person wouldn't have to worry about which end he grabed in the dark to hook the units up.
To me it is more convenient to just hook up one plug and not have to worry about wrapping extra wire up to keep it organized.
Note: I have two batteries in the icehouse hooked up parallel and my F-150 was able to charge the batteries at an idle. This will make fishing alot easier this Winter.
This is a wiring change that I did on my own without anyones recommendation.
i always though Taylor was a slim ball!!!!! watching the gopher hockey team last night there were blurbs running across the bottom about the T-wolves sale is off!!!! and A-rods group saying the finances from there end was in order.
this kinda reminds me of Norm Greed, er Green!!!!!!!!
I really don't care about that.
Sad to say the best chance of a championship at the moment in this state is the Twolves.
Used to be such the fan, but the NBA lost me with the pick and roll.
But I'll watch come playoff time.
If KAT can't play worth a darn , the playoff run won't last long.
I thought I couldn’t dislike Glenn Taylor any more than I already did until today:
Glen Taylor with @ChadHartmanShow when asked if the reason for this happening is because the franchise might be worth double what he was selling it for:
"Partly so, yes. I have a responsibility to those who have been on this ride for the last 40 years."
Sellers remorse for sure but too bad for him the deal was inked 3 years ago. Hopefully the league has a way to arbitrate so it doesn’t go to court, but we will see.
