I am looking for some suggestions for an opener for an 18 foot door. I am planning on getting a 3/4 horse but other than that I have no idea what to look for. Any suggestions would be great.
Also, if anyone has some tips for storage for a new garage I'm all ears. It is a three stall with one 18 foot door and one nine foot. There will be a pickup and a car in the big door and a couple ATV's in the smaller side. It is 28x34 so I am hoping to have some space leftover for storage when I get all that stuff in there.I would like to have some storage on the walls and I also have a couple flip over houses that I want to hoist to the ceiling to save floor space. If anyone has some ideas on what to do or what not to do it would be appreciated. Thanks.
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.
