24V 80# works just fine. 36V 112 works more than fine....and is actually pretty awesome.
I went from a 112 on a 619 back to the 80 on an 1850. Im able to get by just fine, have no issues running out of juice, but certainly the drop in power is very noticeable. I almost equate it to having an outboard under MAX hp...yes it works just fine, but you’ll get on plane much faster with the other puppy. As stated, not all boats have the room for the extra battery and it’s obviously a higher cost to switch (new charger, bigger TM, new battery)
The 1850 MS is actually what I'm after. Finding quite a few used ones, all of them with 24V TMs. Is there no room for a third battery?
The onboard charger off the outboard, like BNelson mentioned, sounds ideal. I'll have to line one up.
I'm a ways out from the upgrade, but I like to do lots of homework first. How do you like your boat? compared to the 619? |
