I need to get an electric motor. Should I get the bow mount 55lb thrust 12v and a second 55lb thrust for the transom? Or should I go with a 24 v system for the bow mount only? I currently have a battery dedicated to the outboard and a second battery for the lights, bilge,live well. Both of theses batteries are under a seat at the stern. I plan on buying a third battery for the bow mount. I am not sure if I only get the 55lb bow mount will be enough to move me around the smaller lakes that I can't use the outboard on. I have a 16 ft Starcraft Starfire 160 that seats 6 max person weight of 825. This was why I am considering a second electric motor /battery system. I really don't want to spend $1500. for a 110 lb thrust or any electric motor. I need some ideas please.
Can someone tell me the meaning of the group size? I was looking at the marine batteries on the Sears website, but I don't understand what the group size means.
Is the on board charger system worth while? I need to buy a deep cycle charger and wanted to get your opinion on this. I will be charging 2 and possibly 3 batteries.
