    Battery low alarm

    I have a hummingbird helix5 and I have to set it to 9.5 volts to keep it from constantly beeping after a few hours on the water fishing. I once turned it down to 9 volts, big mistake.

    Boat slow after cleaning

    It went up fine when I took it back out alone and was running 35mph. Could having two grown men in boat cause the trim to be affected under way? It’s never been a problem until I had a rookie (car guy) clean my boat.

    On board charger clicking

    My on board one bank charger is making a fast clicking noise when I plug it in. I've changed batteries and it might charge normally but it always goes back to clicking. I put my car battery charger and it does the same. My trolling motor is hooked up to this battery I'm trying to charge. Any ideas!
