My lawn is in real tough shape right now. Each year it seems to get worse and worse. It's rock hard, SUPER bumpy, I can't get grass to grow in a few spots and in early to mid summer I get spots where mushrooms pop up. My yard is fairly well covered with adult trees, and I know that doesn't help as they provide lots of shade, but is there anything I can do to get the grass to grow thick, soften up the yard a bit, get those bumps out of it and once and for all prevent those mushrooms from popping up? Last year I did some trimming and have a couple of trees to trim yet, but I don't know if that's going to help all that much. I'd take a few trees down if I had the money, and I'd start all over on the yard if I could, but I got more important things planned for my money (new boat next year!).
Anyone have suggestions on what I could do on a low budget???
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.
