Do you think I have a problem? No smart remarks :-)
I just went from a 12 trolling motor to a 24 and at the same time had a 3 bank charging system installed. When I got back from fishing yesterday I pluged the charger in and all 3 batteries were at the same low level, and took the same time to recharge. In the past, my main battery was alwys almost fully charged when I put the single charger on it. It seems to me that the trolling motor might be pulling from all 3 batteries. Does that sound like a possibility? There installing a couple of depth finders for me this week and I want all problems to be taken care of at once. I'm having the depth finders run to the main battery to eliminate any interference possibilities. I just don't want everything pulling from the main battery and get stuck in the swamps with a dead starting battery.

When they install the other electromics have them chech the wiring to be sure that the troller isnt hooked up wrong. If they know what they are doing they should check it with no charges.

You're right G, the crank batt in 5ys old gonna have it checked soon. All I was running with it today was the 788 on the bow and the forward live well on one min off three. That should not have run it down.

Hey hunter when I plug my charger in all 3 batteries charge the same for couple of minutes. After that the crank battery starts showing that it has more of a charge.

That's what I'm talking about. Mine used to be the same, but now they all show drained to the same level.
