I am having computer problems at home and at work. Both computers are relitively old and both use windows '98 as the operating program.
My home computer(I use dial-up for internet)does not always display pictures and graphics on certain sites. FM always works fine but certain other sites always display the pictures all screwed up and mostly black. If I am on one of thhese sites and I go from there directly to another site like FM it will display my pictures and graphics in black like that until I go up to file and open a new page.
My work computer, mostly when I am using internet explorer will give an error message that says the program has performed an illegal operation and must be shut down. Some times it will just shut down the browser but other times it is froze up and becomes unstable and I have to shut the computer down and re-start to get it to work. Sometimes I have to do this 4 or 5 times a day.
Are there any updates I can download to eliminate these problems?
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.
