FleetFarm has grp. 34 AGM batteries (being told same size as grp 24. regular deep cycle batteries) on sale right now for $25.00 off! which comes to $106.99 per battery. If I purchase 2 AGM batteries is there any problem charging them on my 3 bank on line charger on my boat which will have a regular (non AGM) deep cycle starting battery?

B BK; For clarification…are you saying to hook up air compressor to the rubber line that leads to the area where the water pees out and simply blow the air in reverse or towards the water intake area?

Would my question be better suited for another forum? If no one knows of a outboard motor painter in the midwest….does anyone know where to purchase PPG or similar paint for this 1989 30hp Yamaha motor of mine….maybe I can paint it myself!

Thanks Jack, I’m from NE Iowa….near Cedar Rapids…but willing to travel a bit if I have to!

I have an 01′ Lund Rebel 1650 Explorer. I did run (8 guage wire) to front battery from rear battery. I am using 27 group batteries (as I remember!) and ran them in sequence so I would never run out of battery for either front or rear trolling motor. I have a separate 27 group start battery which also is in rear. I believe my breakers were 40’s. I have a 3 bank on board charger. Can’t remember if I put the electronics on starter or trolling batteries. Hope this helps some!

Thought I’d try this again…anyone heard of Bay Lake near Mille Lacs? How is the fishing?

Anyone know anything about Bay Lake in the Brainard area? How is the fishing? I think its more over by Mille Lacs area.

ttt!

Guys – thanks for the advise thus far….I’m checking out every suggestion anyone posts! Any other suggestions let me know – Thanks!

Sliderfishin – We checked into Sandy Beach Resort and the general consensus for our group was that it was going to be a bit too pricey- thanks for the advise! We may have to stay on another lake/resort (less expensive) and pull the boat over and fish Gull. I’ll give you a shout when we get close to departure date!
