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
quijibo
I just converted my Lowrance LCX-25c to ice duty using the ppp-16i kit and I'm having a couple of issues.
The first problem is a battery one. I'm using the included Lowrance 7 amp battery and using the sonar for the voltage readings. When fully charged the sonar reads 12.6 volts, isn't this a little low? Normally this wouldn't bother me, but this thing is a battery pig. It's current draw is listed at 1.5 amps and it doesn't read accurately when you get to 11.9 volts or lower. Are the voltage readings on Lowrance sonars pretty dependable? I'm at the cabin and don't have a voltmeter with me(you'd think I would've learned by now). Aren't fully charged 12v batteries supposed to read 14.4v? Shouldn't a 7amp battery last me 4-5 hours? I keep it on the lowest screen brightness that I can.
The other issue is where to mount the GPS module. They show a picture of one mounted on top in the instructions, but they don't mention it in the wording. Any ideas? The only structural parts of this kit are the plastic base and the canvas bag.
