[QUOTE]jerkbait - 6/11/2008  4:32 PM

Hey everyone, I just found the site about a week ago and so far I love it, have learned a lot from reading these posts. I have a couple questions for anyone that could help me. I bought a 2008 Crestliner 1750 fish hawk,  I have a 24V system, I was fishing sat from about 7 until 3 and the batteries were pretty much done, I had the TM power up all the way most of the time fighting the wind, does this seem normal? So far from what I have heard from others, it doesnt seem too far off. Next question, I am considering an on board charger because of this and I dont know much about them, do I need one for my cranking battery also? where would be a good place to mount it if anyone is familiar with this boat? I looked at one today and I dont think there will be enough cable to reach the motor and the alt. so I would assume I am gonna have to splice into the cable to make it work, am I right?  Also was wondering, it seems that my TM is the only thing connected to my batt. up front, and there are a lot of wires from my cranking batt. is that proper set up? Thanks in advance for any help.[/QUOTE]
