Hey Earl I have A new I pilot 12 volt I can troll about six hours on one battery my boat had a 24 volt tm when I bought it . So I put a perko switch on it now and can switch from one to the other works good my boat is A ranger 1850 vxs. :

Everything is wired up and on charge. I added 4 batteries on my 24volt system and while I was at it, I added another cranking battery. Now the Procraft is carrying 6 batteries. 4 trolling batteries and a new 4 bank charger, 2 cranking batteries with a new 2 bank charger. This should take care of everything.

Sounds nice. But why two cranking batteries?

Pulled cranks all day yesterday.The extra batteries worked great. I will be going back Monday for another test.
