2005 PT 165 battery questions

[pralnwuf]

Recently purchased above mentioned boat with a 25 hp mercury motor. It has two batteries. I assume one is for cranking and the other for running the trolling motor and other electical devices. My question is about charging these batteries. Does the motor recharge one or both batteries while it is running? Do I need to charge one or both of the batteries after returning home? I purchased a owner's manual from Tracker which is all but useless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would call Tracker, they should be able to help unless its been modified.

Todd,

On my tv-18 the cranking battery is charged from the motor. TM is not. Still have not been able to find my on-board charger but can see it has an outlet for it.

Tracker has been sucked at knowing their boats. I called them when I bought my tv-18 and every time they said. Hey bring it by and drop it off for our guys to look at, give me a break! 2 hours to drop it off for how long so they can tell me where my on-board battery charger should be located.
