I have 2 deep cell batteries. One is one year old the other is 2 years old. They were stored indoors over the winter and charged in January. I also use a 10 amp Minn-Kota portable charger. Both batteries indicate that they are fully charged by the charger yet when hooked up to the trolling motor it indicates "Low". When I put them on the charger the cells bubble for a few minutes the the charger say "Charged". Another clue is that our old charger from last year may have cooked the batteries. Is this a charger issue, a battery issue, or a trolling motor issue? Thanks
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.
