| As promised I am going to provide an update from my trip last week.
Spent Tuesday through Sunday (left in AM yesterday) on Lake of the Woods out from Sioux Narrows.
We fished on average 10 hours per day. Start by 8 AM daily, fish to around 1 PM for lunch then back out from 2:30 to 8:00 PM.
All fishing was done using the trolling motor. No big motor trolling. We sometimes slip drifted using the trolling motor, but mostly trolled between .4MPH and .8 MPH.
I never ONCE plugged in my charger to the generator we brought to charge it. Thats right, not ONCE!
At the end of each day the worst my batteries read as far as level of charge was 75%, while the first couple days it was 100%. When we arrived at the landing yesterday to load up it was again at 100%.
I arrived home yesterday late afternoon and plugged in my charger and its just a green light as in its fully charged.
I am SIMPLY AMAZED! I never expected the Stealth1 DC Charger to work this well. Honestly I was hoping it would buy me a couple days before I had to charge or at least longer days on the water with fuller charge, but it simply is amazing.
A little bit about the fishing spots. One spot is about 3 miles from camp (just a guess) and the other spots are probably the same distance away from that so there is a fair amount of running with the big motor to allow the Stealth to do its thing.
The results I achieved would NOT have been the same had it been a small lake, etc. That I am sure of so if you fish small water primarily you wouldnt see the full benefits of this.
The other boat charged his batteries 3 times with the generator. He asked me to give him the info about this unit and he is going to buy one before next year, he was that impressed.
All in all, VERY pleased with the results. Thought I would share for others who may have similar needs.
