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
Bronze Backs
Motor: 2000 Merc 125 HP
I was going at a slow idle, creeping along a shallow river when I hit a stump. The motor killed but then the power trim kicked on and stayed on, in the down position. The only way I could stop the power trim was to try to trim it up from either the throttle or on the motor. This wouldn't trim up the motor, but at least stop the constant-down trim.
I fired up the motor and after 30 seconds, all of a sudden the trim started working again. Bubble in the lines? Something else? The trim worked fine after that episode, but I'd like a peace of mind it was a one-time occurance and not a potential ongoing problem. Any thoughts? How tough is it to override the hydraulics?
