    Do portable trolling motor chargers work?

    The two biggest killers of batteries are deep discharges and not charging them immediately after discharge. The lifetime of a battery is directly related to the depth of the discharge that it regularly experiences. If you subject a deep cycle battery to 80% (11.58V) DOD on a regular basis...

    BENNET TRIM TABS

    Could be a leaking trim pump hose (Stainless) or fitting. If that isn't the case, more than likely the o-rings in the piston heads of the trim tab actuator(s) have gone bad.

    Electric Winch Possibilities for Tahoe T16 trailer?

    I was under the impression winch foot prints where more or less standardized? Replaced a few winches in my days. Never had an issue bolting one up that I remember. If nothing else, make an adapter plate. Bolt one plate to the other if need be

    Need help with re wiring my dads old bass boat

    The short answer is yes and no........Tapping 12V from one battery would impart an unbalanced load on the untapped battery. Tapping the second battery with an equal load would in theory balance the load, but impractical in application. You need an isolated DC to DC, (24V to 12V) convertor to...

    Power source for two amps

    It may charge both....but it will certainly equalize the charge in both batteries. A shorted cell in one battery kills both

    Bait tank pumping hose

    Ideal flow is determined by the water temp, number, size and type of bait your maintaining. Some fish tolerate captivity very well, others do not. Generally speaking, low flow is better than too much. To much flow and you literally can drown them.
