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
polarsusd81
The new prop works awesome and all is well except one small thing. When I am running along the lake, somehow water will get into the engine, not in the powerhead but in the tray (???) the powerhead sits in. There are a couple small holes on the bottom and the water drains out eventually, but it never did this before I put the new prop on. I don't think the water is coming in from these holes as they are about 18" above the water when running and its not spalshing up at just the right angle to get in them either.
The motor is a 15 horse Mariner and I went from a beat up 9 1/4 x 12 to a new 9 1/2 x 10 1/2. The old prop wouldn't allow the boat to get on plane and was in desperate need of replacement. It pops up on plane now and runs down speedboats, but the water thing concerns me slightly. Any insight as to what might be going on? There are no leaks or anything from cooling on the motor that I can see. It is just weird.
Thanks,
Tom
