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
Juan Grande
Guys,
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm trying to hook up my deep cycle batteries and I can't remember how the wires were configured.
I took a digital picture before I unhooked them last fall, but the wife deleted it from the camera. She says unintentionally, but she knows I'm a dumb a** when it comes to electrical stuff and maybe this would delay the open water season. I'm hoping FM will foil her plan
Anyway, I have two deep cycle batteries and a dual bank charger. The charger has a black and red wire for both batteries. I have a wire coming from the front of the boat (powers the trolling motor and sonar) with a black and red connection. There was also a misc. red wire in the there that has a circle node on each end.
The trolling motor/sonar wire can be hooked up to one battery, but I'm assuming the two batteries need to be joined somehow so they share the work load. Does that extra red wire network the two together?
In the past six months our house has been hit by a tornado and flooded by our washing machine so I'm not tempting fate here and guessing on the connections.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
John
