Just wanting to know how people have their electric setup in the way of battery/s. I was wondering if I would get away with running a single 120amp battery that would run a 620, GPS, all the lights, bilge pump and the electric? I am looking at the bow mount 54lb thrust model. How much charge do they use on a regular trip?
Any info or advice would be great on how you have yours setup. I have done a search as well and found some good setups but always keen to see more.
I've had interferance problems before when I've run a sounder & electric motor off the same battery so I run the electric off a stand alone and everything else off the starting.
With a 55lb I'll easily flatten a 130 Troj in a day & 1/2 if it's quite windy but it all depends how you like to fish. I prefer to hold above the school so I guess that would drain the battery quicker in the wind.
Cheers
Mike
I get about 6-8hrs out of my 130amp with 55lb on a 4m boat.
General rule of thumb (mainly due to interference) as Mike said, keep electrics etc off cranking battery and leave deep cycle for electric.
