TM wouldn't go much Saturday so I knew I had some battery probs. Charged it and took it to get load tested and sho nuff, One failed. Replaced one of the 3 a few months ago so only one left now. They said it was OK and would last abit longer. Long as this one last through the spawn, I'll be OK. GOT to have another one before cranking time though.
Your older batterys will pull your new one down to their level....that's why they always recommend replaceing all the batterys at the same time. Replaceing one at a time, yes it works for a little while.....but, its still costing you more money in the end.
Just got to last me a couple months of slow trolling G. Just dont' have the money right now. Just paid for a full week down in Cancun for the both of us All Inclusive at a resort LOL $2800. Then saving for a couple fishing trips down there. Tarpon and bonefish are on my bucket list and they have a bunch of both
Careful they don't put you in a panga down there.Quote:

Here's the charter we're looking at. http://www.cancuntarponfishing.com/c...servations.php In Shallow water in the lagoon.
A panga will be fine because you'll be fishing the flats for the bonefish and tarpon. Not good for offshore use. Been there and done that many times in the Caribbean.

You can tell who has to much money on here LOL
