TJ- I am looking at the Minn kota 2 bank Alternator charger. Trying to avoid pulling outta the water for a plugin like I have to do now. I'm on Leech- sometimes big moves between spots, and I do troll. Started a wiring diagram this afternoon.
Going to investigate moving one of the deep cycle batteries out of parallel in rear to the front hatch (if it's made for it) for the trolling motor (TM) only. I do like the parallel configuration as my TM runs stronger longer. But gotta move some weight outta the back right of that boat (porpoising). But I have bought trim tabs to help with that issue. If I find they do the trick for the porpoising, I'll leave everything as is. If I do move the battery, I will have to properly extend the wires to the front battery from the charger. Minn kota sells a charger extension complete with fuses on + and -, but I will likely make my own. Question I have now is about fuses in those lines to the TM and other electronics. Should I upgrade those (30 amp?) and where should they go. If you or anyone have help, thanks a lot.
