Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I ran a 17' fiberglass boat last year with a 40 HP Merc as my 'small lake' rig. I chose a 55# 12 volt MotorGuide Wireless bow mount, and was able to fish two days, no matter the conditions, before losing the battery. I used to have it hooked up parallel, like Shep suggests, but lost the number two battery to a bad cell a year ago and didn't replace it yet.
If you go 24 volt, get the Marinco system so you can charge easily through the plug and use the system to power 12 volt if you wish. |
