If you know, I would like his assessment of risk using his "big motor"
battery for trolling. That is, does he accept his risk that he will be
caught without starting power, does he monitor his voltage or battery
condition on a regular basis for reserve starting power or any other method?
It sounds like a good idea. I am due to replace my 24V TM in the near
future and would like some thoughts on the 36V system with 3 batteries
maximum in the boat. What would be involved with the standard charging
system, 12V, that is in use on the "big motor" now.

One of the local guides I know uses a 36 volt system, Running full power
against the current all day he has battery to spare for another day if he
can't get it recharged. On top of that, guess what.. He only has three
batteries in his boat. Yup the battery for the big motor is wired in
series
with the other two for his 36 volts.
