That is great to hear! Looks like I’m going to pay a little extra for a slip instead of valet but the I will get more time on the water and have the ability to charge my trolling motor batteries. Thanks to all who responded! Very much appreciated!
Pivoting the topic a bit… So it looks like charging my trolling motor batteries isn’t much of an option while stacked in a valet slot. I want to keep my boat nice and covered, so what are the group’s thoughts on charging batteries while in the water at the slip. …And would it be dangerous to charge the batteries with the travel cover on the boat (should I be concerned of any trapped hazardous gasses)?
Thanks Fishwater, Much appreciated. That was my thought as well (on all counts ????). If that is the rule of thumb then charging before stacking is a non-starter. …And agree that trailering would be best, but that too is water under the bridge for this season. I’ll have to figure something out. Thanks!
You’ll want to ask the marina you’re working with. Many require all power to be completely turned off for insurance reasons. I’m guessing they’ll want you to charge before stacking.
Thanks Munchy. If I was to get an onboard charger for my 24v system any idea how long it would take to recharge the batteries? Is this something that could be accomplished on the run back to the marina after a day of fishing?
