Re: Choosing the right trolling motor
Sensrookie, Going with the 2 bank will work if you only want to charge your deep cycle batteries. Keep in mind that this new graph of yours is going to drain the power off your cranking battery. In my experience, my short bursts of driving the boat around are never enough to fully charge the cranki...

Re: Fun Night on the Ottawa
That looks like a lot of fun. I've never gone fishing for just cat fish but can definitely see the draw to it. Any other good spots that I can get to without a boat?

Re: Choosing the right trolling motor
I picked up two Full River DC115-12 batteries (115AH / 12V BCI GRP 31DC) from Total Battery today. While not cheap at least I'll have piece of mind with the battery. That should finish off all the purchases I'll need for Saturday.

Re: Fish, Hunt, Ride Sportsman Show
Unfortunately I missed this one but hope to make it next year. I did pick up some fishing gear that weekend but had no time to take in the show. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)

Good luck and enjoy your new toy.

Re: Choosing the right trolling motor
Picked up everything this past weekend from Paddeltales. Just waiting for the accessories adaptor and another marine battery. They stock a heck of a lot of goodies in that little shop in Winchester. Well worth the visit. Thanks again Ed. I can't wait to get it all put together so I can start trying ...

Re: Choosing the right trolling motor
You can never be overpowered with an electric trolling motor! That 55# needs to run at a higher speed, drawing more juice from your battery (causing it to drain your battery that much quicker) to do the same work as the 80# Also, a 24V system will last quite a bit longer out on the water compared t...

Re: Choosing the right trolling motor
Sensrookie: I have the MK330D charger in stock now. I would be interested in hearing what the BPS price was on that trolling motor. If you got the price off their site it is in U.S. dollars. Ed HI Ed, yes it was in USD and after taxes, delivery and exchange rate it comes to more than what you had q...

Re: Choosing the right trolling motor
Here is what I've decided to go with. I couldn't beat the price on the Garmin echoMAPâ„¢ CHIRP 75dv. It listed for $1,249.99 but I picked it up from Sail while it was on sale during boxing week for under $800 (all inclusive). I purchased the universal mount rather than the exact fit. The RAM Mount Rec...

Re: Choosing the right trolling motor
Andy you pretty much listed everything that is on a Minn Kota Power Drive 55 with I Pilot. Only downside to this version is that you lose the foot pedal which is something he still wants as stated in the original post. The I-pilot functionality is more important to me than the foot pedal. I also li...
