plan to do some gigging this summer at nite...how many amps does the alternator on a '88 9.9 johnson md#10eccd put out both at low and higher r p m's???
Hi Salty,
I can't answer your light question....but I will share where some flounder can be found. Near and around Boy Scout island and the Flats. I dont run a motor gigging flounder. I either wade, pole, or drift. Incomming tide provides some clear water in that area and a good rechargable low power search lite works good for me. I shut off all equipment onboard.
Buy a deep cycle battery and run lights and trolling motor on it.They can be bought form insterstate battery co for less that $40 if you ask for a blemished battery.
good info....want to try running a crab trotline in the evening too....problem down here is daytime=heat......evening= cocktail hr............have some flourescent type 12v bulbs that use little juice that i use for camping..blemished batt.deal sounds good as we found out after the hurricanes that there are many options on a 12v system..
there is a guy I see all the time up here that runs a billion candle power off a generator on the boat, he bow hunts but it is hte same difference so maybe look into a small Honda generator or a battery and some LEDs, lots of light and low power draw.
Well with the market flooded with LED bulbs ....... a 12V battery could last days! Just consider some of the LED lighting technology and I doubt the motor will even have to be hooked up to them.
