Power Inverter

Can you run a power inverter to charge you batts while running the trolling motor?

Yes if you had a different set of batteries and a lot of them. You can't use the same batteries as the TM as that would be perpetual motion and that don't work.

You could always put a gas generator on board and use your battery charger but it might not be very stealthy. ;)

Thanks Bill, I sho ain't know electrician.
Not too worried bout stealth, had a 200 2 stroke running at 1000 rpms building the cranking batt up Sat and caught 2 on a crank running at the back of the boat.

Perpetual motion machines are coming. Something for nothing. These machines were inspired by our government.

I have a Minnkota MK-3 on board battery charger that will charge your trolling batteries off your big motor. Google it and read about it and if you're interested in getting one, PM me. We can make a deal on the one i have.

Not many practical ways for crappie fishermen to charge TM batteries on the water. Most of us don't run the outboard at high enough RPMs long enough in a week to make up for a half day's fishing drain on the TM batteries.

I may or may not run my outboard at all so not sure how good it would work for us, will google it and look tho. Thanks
