Charging a trolling motor battery

[golfnut123]

I just bought a Johnson Seahorse Mod#j35ecsm. I also have an ancient trolling motor with alligator clips that go on a battery. Can I put a seperate battery in the boat for trolling and have it charge from the outboard?

Depending on what engine your running, most don't have enough output.

Welcome to the forums golfnut,<br /><br />Yes but you'll probably need to install an isolator.<br /><br />This thread has diagrams and info on doing just that.<br /><br /> http://forums.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=36;t=000021 <br /><br /><br />This thread has some info on battery selection which be helpful as well.<br /><br /> http://forums.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=36;t=000026 <br /><br /><br />Good Luck and good fishin'

mcm's references are not working. click on the red search function. enter dual battery install. it will take a little time for it to search, but will give you a choice of about 30 threads.

They'll open now, I had to fix them from when the servers were updated.
