I've got a Minnkota 3 bank on board charging system that I am having a problem with. It is only charging on one bank, which happens to be the bank for the main engine. The other two banks are for my trolling motors and I am having problems with it. The indicator lights aren't coming on and the batteries aren't being charged. I have done a circuit test from the wires coming out of the charger all the way to the batteries and from that point it is fine. My question I guess is if two of the banks have gone bad, why is 1 still working? I would think that if one went bad they would all quit working. Everything was working fine until I unplugged it to vacuum the boat out. I plugged it back in after vacumming and thats when I noticed my problem. I was able to get the indicator lights to come on for a short time and then they stopped. I was thinking it was a ground problem, but not sure where to look.
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.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
