  1. I currently run a 16' Crestliner, it has a 2004 30hp 4stroke Johnson. I do a lot of trolling with it and run all of the accessories of my 27series crank battery (electric downriggers, sonar/gps, Sub Troll, VHF radio, ect..) These are all hardwired indivually (with inline fuses).

    The house (lights, bilge, livewell) and motor came indpendently wired together.

    Ive been running like this for a few seasons now with no issues but am considering adding a second (smaller) 12v battery for the trolling accessories. Is it neccessary?

    If I choose to add a second battery, what would be the best way to go about doing it so that the alternator would charge both?

  2. Going to be re-vamping my electronics this winter on my Crestliner.

    I plan to run a Lowrance lcx-15 as my sonar and a Eagle 642c iGPS or 502c iGPS as my chartplotter and back up sonar. As it stands,they both will have 200khz transducers (will be mounted approx. 3 feet apart) and will be wired to run off the same battery.

    So should I be expecting one to interfere with the other? I dont plan to have the Eagle in sonar mode, but the transducer and power cable for that unit are one.

  3. north of the border, but a huge 'Cuse hoops fan as well

    i'll root for 'em on the gridiron as well, but I have a soft soft for the Oregon Ducks though... Joey Harrington & Onterrio Smith hooked me 10 yrs ago, heart breaker on Monday night, but Chip Kelley is a solid coach & they should recruit very well for the next while,

  4. thought maybe this might involve into an interesting discussion

    so im kinda wondering why there seems to 2 different types of tournies on Lake O...

    pro/ams & others along the US south shore seem to often be multi species and larger boxes

    in Ontario (northshore) nearly all 1 or 2 day team tournies seem to be salmon only with boxes being 3-6 fish.

    Can anyone elborate why this seems to be? i dont neccessarily think one type is better/worse then the other....

  5. looks good Maverick... definetly a lot of thought & work has gonna into this

    Sounds like it has been very well thought out. Would love to see a scale or two on this side of the pond..... we'd like to play also!! :yes:

    Nothing wrong with a little friendly North vs South competition ;) the addition of Canadian scales would also add more monies to the pot

  6. A few of us Canadian's made a boys getaway weekend out of it all - took in the seminars, flea market & a trip to Gander Mountain :yes: a good way to get all primed up for the upcoming season...

    thanks to all who had a hand in putting it all together

    shouldnt be much longer & we can go play with the trout ;)

  7. Booogitty Booogitty Booogittty!!!

    I am thinking that both Kenseth & Gordon wanted to make up for sub par '08 seasons... so i think one of them will take it tommorow...

    In my opinion, this really is the year that we will see if the 88 really has it in him to seriously contend for a championship
