I had read about your setup Mac and ran 2 group 31's wired together for 12v but double the amp hours. 400 amp hours equals 10 hours at full tilt. So far ive done 7 hours at 1.8-2mph no issues. However the first time I went to lift the trailer with the batteries in..I almost moved some guts around.
Still, you need the front side of the prop clear so it can pull water thru it cleanly.
Can you explain this last piece? how would the front of the prop not be clear?
In other words the prop has to be below the bottom of the boat
OK fellas hopefully there is something simple I can check here and say the remainder of the fishing trip:I was trolling all morning with my lights on but the main engine off. After a few hours the battery tried but couldn't turn over. I switched the wires over to my fully charged spare and this time nothing. Lights came on, but no trim, no click on the choke. Pull start didn't work either, although I've never used it since buying the boat in June. Tow boat said the fuse looked good and we got the same results trying to jump it. This is my Suzuki 2 stroke not my Johnson, but I figure it's something universal. I haven't bought I shop manual yet for it Any thoughts would be appreciated and might save the rest of my fishing weekend. Thanks!
through live support from a facebook buddy, and a paddleboarder that happened to be cruising our cove on his day off, found that a solenoid fuse to the starter was blown. Tinkering with the control box I was able to pull start the motor and enjoy the rest of the weekend until I buy another fuse. Looks like I may have accidentally reversed the terminals when I tried the spare and blown the fuse. Numbnut move if I did but now I know my motor better for itAppreciate the help!
Glad it got resloved.. and the fuse saved your day.. lol's
