no, No, NO!

All it takes is one power surge on the line while your battery charger is plugged in to fry the circuit board on your motor. $200+ and lost day fishing later, you will wish you took the time to simply unplug the TM before you plugged in your on-board charger.



Like I said, mine's wired directly. Boat came that way. But yeah, I'd feel better with it disconnected. I might even have a plug and socket laying around here somewhere. Time to put that on the 'to do' list.

Should look to put in a master switch too so i can shut the power off to the sonars. Not an issue at home here but when on vacation I leave em in the boat for the week.
