    Motorguide x3 bow mount - hand controlled trolling motor

    I am very pleased with my foot controlled X-3. There is a video on youtube I think by Barry Stokes that reviews the X-3 line. It is a marketing video by Motorguide so it is a lot biased but it might help you in your decision.

    Common Ground For Batteries

    Everything is working well but I am still not sure how to form a common grounding circuit between all the batteries like the motorguide manual makes clear if you have multiple batteries. I am waiting for a return call from motorguide to help clarify the statement in the manual. I am mostly only...

    On-board charger recommendations

    I only have experience with the bass pro brand and the dual pro's. I would highly recommend the dual pro sportsman charger. Although it is a bit more expensive, the dual pro is a repairable charger and customer service has been very good for me. I purchase refurbished chargers from the dual pro...

    convert johnson 48 spl to tiller

    I converted my whaler to a tiller steer. I bought an aluminum bass boat with a 1999 40 HP mercury that was setup with a console. I wanted the aluminum boat to be set up all electric so I removed the console, engine and fuel tank. I then purchased a tiller arm and ignition switch from mercury for...

I plugged it in and it seems to work but have not tried to charge a battery with it. It certainly does not look new but appears to work...I will mail it to you if you send me your...

    somewhat new to wiring/batteries

    I just completed a similar project with no prior knowledge of what I was doing. I would suggest using a switch panel already fused and a common bus bar. It will make your installation much easier and cleaner. Just run the appropriate gauge wire from the positive battery post to the switch and do...

    Common Ground For Batteries

    Well...I completed the gas outboard to all electric conversion and did so with out a "common ground". I hope to get it on the water soon for a test and I will let you know if anything catches on fire. The outboard I removed from this project I put on my other boat and installed a tiller for it...

    Common Ground For Batteries

    I seem to agree and not sure why it would be recommended. The motorguide operation manual reads: "Vessels with multiple batteries, must have a common ground bonding circuit. Not establishing a common ground between the vessel batteries, may cause severe corrosion, electrolysis, and electrical...

    Common Ground For Batteries

    I am in the process of converting an aluminum bass boat into an all electric boat. I have most of the work complete and I have read some literature about having a "common ground" for each of the batteries. Here is the set up I am running: 2 battery bank for transom 24 volt trolling motor 2...
