Thread: Still getting the bugs out oh my boat!!!!

With the weather being so nice I decided to fish on sunday with all the other boats. I launched at the crack of dawn an ran where I caught the fish the last tine out. I was marking a load of fish on the fish finder. I started trolling and picked up a few non keepers and I noticed I was losing power to my trolling motor. I looked at my hand held unit and it showed my batteries were almost dead. I loaded up the boat and ran back to the house to find the problem. I thought I found the problem and charged the batteries and headed back to the boat ramp. I started fishing and noticed the same problem. I loaded up and went home. When I got home I Found a problem I thought would fix my problem. I charged my batteries overnight and Monday I felt confident I had solved my problem. I ran to double creek and started at mouth and again I was marking loads of fish!!!! The fog rolled in and I relied on my depth finder to get around at first light. I picked two nice fish then the problem returned. I was a little upset and returned to the boat ramp and went home. When I got home I switched out the charger out of my other boat and that was my problem. I charged my batteries for 4 hours and off to the ramp I go. I ran back to the same place I started in the morning and the wind started to blow so I decided to check out some new waters. I ran to a smaller creek out of the wind and picked up a few fish and the trolling motor batteries held up fine. Not much of a fishing report but I think I have the bugs out!!!!!!

I have my batteries set up on a power mania three bank charger. It is always plugged up when not on the water. I hate dealing with battery issues. Once installed all you have to do is plug up the extension cord.
