Location: Antioch, IL | Shep is a wise man. I'm running a minn kota PD55 12V on a 17ft. fiberglass boat. Pulled the boat just fine in moderate to heavy chop, but would juice the battery in no time if I stayed out in the heavy stuff. After looking at going to a 24V with more #'s I deicided to run two 12V in parallel (since an extra bettery would be part of the overall expense anyway). This has worked out great. Fished for 10-12 hours straight for 10 days straight in all kinds of chop and never read less than 50% charge. (don't have to play the conserve juice game anymore). There is a good post on this site showing how to set this up. |
