Stick Steer: Tracker vs War Eagle

[warhawk]

Installed the NOCO Genius2 Charger last night, it’s a 2 Bank 10A per Bank, Charger. No room for it in the battery compartment, so I mounted it to the vertical panel in front of it. I used a electrical conduit fitting to run the wires then the aluminum/ carpeted panel. I still need to tidy the wiring up a little.

if anyone buys one of these chargers, be aware that you’ll need extra long drill bits and driver bits as the mounting screws are in a deep well, almost 3 inches deep.

i had the boat out the other day for 3-4 hours, on the trolling motor almost the entire time. The cranking battery charged in about 10 minutes, the trolling motor battery charged in a little under 1 1/2 hours.

warhawk,
I have a Fisher 1610 SS (stick steer) it has a 2006 Mercury 40hp with power tilt/trim. It was a new boat that had seat in show room until I purchased it in Feb 2009. I have no idea were the motor was built. However I can tell you I have 1,386 hrs. on it with only one problem. The fuel cooler cracked at about 1,200 hrs. and I had to replace it, a little pricy to install at Mercury dealer $600.

With my power tilt/trim I normally can just trim it at want ever speed I'm going and neutralize the steering.

My only complaint is most lakes I fish in Oklahoma are 8,000 to 100,000 areas and as flintcreek said the rough ride up front when the wind gets up.

I fish a lot by myself and it's great. However now at 72 years young my back is starting to go bad and I think I'm going to have to change boats.

Hope your boat/motor works out as good as mine has.

A lot cheaper than changing boats......it can tame any ride your boat can handle.
