Will search side mount. A further question is can I fully charge the battery via solar. My catch rate is good but lookin to improve it next season. Sure you can, Al. If you want to fish once a season and charge the battery for the rest of the season. |

Is there a fast charge battery for a trolling motor. Solar is out. My
second thought is to charge using portable generator. Thanks On Oct 31, 7:36 am, RichZ wrote: fishtale wrote: Will search side mount. A further question is can I fully charge the battery via solar.

Also, if this boat is like a small row/john boat, you can attach a transom mount on the side of the boat and still control it by the handle. Maxhttp://www.anglingadventures.infohttp://www.e-z-travel.net Yes it is a small boat with a motor on the back. I need to find a place to install a trolling motor. I looked for pictures on the web. Will search side mount. A further question is can I fully charge the battery via solar. Sure,,a standard solar charger will fully charge a 12 volt battery in about 14 days,, if the sun is bright What is a "standard" solar charger. I've got 60 watt panels in the shop I use for remote applications, model home alarms before power gets turned on, mobile offices, and I plan to put one on my toy hauler (with a charge controller) to keep the battery charged, etc etc.... I have considered putting three of them on the back deck of the cat to keep my batteries charged on weekend outings or to camp out on the river. At 4.5+ amps each it should work just fine I imagine. Put a small one/two man dome tent on the front deck to keep the skeeters off and I could do overnighters quite comfortably without worry about batteries. If I wasn't worried about breaking them from flexing and pounding while running I'ld consider putting up a bimini style frame and mounting them semi permanently.

Most I have seen have a max output (under the bright sun) of 2 Amps (24 watts) for charging 12 volt batteries, and these are expensive, You won't get that 2 amps but maybe 5 hours of a very sunny day. they are mainly used to "maintain" a fully charged battery, as we know, all batteries loose some of their charge just sitting around, these chargers keep the battery at peak, even after months of non use -- SpecTastic Wiggle Rig, Fishing lure remote control See lure video you won't believe http://ezknot.com/videos.html |

Jajwuth, I imagine you've already considered this idea: Attach a paddle
wheel to the shaft of a small generator and bolt it on the side of your jon boat. Whenever you use your trolling motor to move the boat, the paddle wheel will turn and the generator will charge the battery. That way you'll never run low on electricity. I can't take credit for this idea. I owe my new understanding of energy issues and science to my fellow Tennessean, Al Gore. After carefully studying his doctrines, I realized my best course was to forget everything I'd learned while earning my degree in Botany. I did that, and now answers to complex energy and technology issues come very easily to me. Joe ------------------------- "fishtale" wrote in message ups.com...
