I was recetly told about this product on another post when asking about a product that is good for ice fishing as well as open water fishing and is easily used in a rental boat.
I did a search for the product on the internet and got some good info but I was wondering if anyone has used one and it if is worth the price. It goes for $60, it probably isn't the best thing out there but I can't afford much over $100 so I thought this might be a good alternative.
I don't get out more then 6-10 times a year much tomy dismay so I also can't justify spending a ton.
Any thoughts on this product or any other ideas of a good fish finder that works through the ice and on open water and is easily mountable is a rental boat.
Thanks for the help as always. I promise one of these days I will have enough knowledge I will be able to post more answers then questions.
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.
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.
