My Garmin Striker has started shutting down every time I start my boat. Before this it would warn low voltage momentarily but not shut down. I'm assuming this happens because the voltage goes too low now. The battery starts the motor fine. Does this mean my battery is getting too old? It's about...
Speaking of snow, I was wondering....can the weight of a LOT of snow on my boat, that is sitting on a roller trailer punch the rollers thru the hull? Its a fiberglass 20ft boat with a 90hp on it as well. Its that white lump next to my garage!
I'm thinking I'm going to buy a 12ft aluminum boat and small motor this spring, second hand. Most don't come with trailer, and I'm wondering if I need one. Seems I could put a boat that size in the back of my pickup by myself, maybe with the help of a winch attached to the back rack in the truck...
I use "wife tax", sometimes I get a good meal out of it too! Seriously, she does the taxes and has used Turbo Tax, but now prefers "Studio Tax". She works for Canadian Revenue Service, so I figure she knows what she's at.
My wife always puts the stuffing in the turkey, I don't know anyone around here that cooks a turkey with no stuffing inside! Around here stuffing consists of bread crumbs mixed with onion and savoury, butter and salt and pepper. Delicious!
What would a safe way to discharge one a little? I also bought one for my trolling motor this spring and after last use I recharged to full, but didn't get to use it. Now its at 100% for the winter. Would a trolling motor overheat if ran any length of time out of water?
I'm pretty sure a lithium battery charger needs to be over 13volt. Its different from a 12 volt battery charger. I don't think it matters about when you charge them. I also think you might run your fish finder and trolling motor off the same battery just fine if its only pulling just 1.25 amps...
