    Just picked up a slightly used Navigator 175 CS.Set up just the way I want it except.It has a Fortrax,3 generic boat dealer batteries and a 2 bank charger.It’s getting a Terrova and Blue Tops.What is a good 3 bank onboard charger and do the faster chargers affect battery life.On the charger note.Doing RLH trip next month,anyone used a solar charger?Also to the Nav guys.What do you like for rod holders.I like the flush mount,but don’t want to drill that big of a hole in the narrow gunnel.Will my T9.9 mount direct to the transom without a seperate mount plate?

    If you are looking for a DC charger (charges off the alternator of you big motor for 3 batteries) I have a new one that I never installed that I am willing to part with out of my garage. Give me a PM.

    X2 and I think you can still get in on the rebates if you hurry.

    Just sold my navigator last week. I had a minnkota charger and had good luck with it.

    For rod holders, I put rails on the back with ram rail mounts and flush mount ram mounts on the front.

    TraxsTech tracks on the gunnels and mount what ever you want into them. Did this on my Competitor 175 (same hull) and love them. Have the freedom to move holders around and take them off so they do not affect my snap travel cover. There Spendy but worth it!
