Great thread! Learning quite a bit so when I get to finally use my new Terrova, I'll know what to expect. The new remote is a heavy one. I'll be purchasing the available foot pedal so I can have both options. The carabiner is also a great idea...however I often fish with shorts that have no...

I did tow boats with our Sequoia. Different than a Pilot, but still an SUV. Will it tow fine and safe, yes. Do I prefer towing with a truck, yes. The SUV rear end is much softer than a truck and will squat some. SUV wheel base is shorter and what you'll notice....shorter equals more up/down...

Wow, great boat and motor! You did well. Glad to see you made it home safely and with some goodies in tow. Have fun with your new toys!

Not much to add as most options have been covered. I'm a little confused about your tow vehicle. You mentioned your TC has a 1000# tow capacity, yet you towed a 28' Airstream quite a distance. That Airstream is over 5000#. How did you accomplish towing that Airstream? Perhaps I misread...

I'll stick with a group 31 wet cell LA starting battery. Interstate 31-XHD and Die Hard heavy duty farm battery have high CCA. Either should last for several hours with what I'm running. Interstate Farm Batt

I have a new Pro Guide V16SC. I chose the 60hp, as it is 125# lighter than the 75/90. It is said to perform between 25-30mph, depending on weight of load. Unfortunately, I'm unable to provide specific details with regard to speed and RPM, as I have yet to take it out! I'll be taking it out...

Although my LiTime batts do have a low temp BMS, they do not have a shunt. Do yours? If not, how do you monitor....volts, amps, charge/discharge, etc.?

UPDATE: According to Mercury...they want the starting battery to be a starting/cranking battery...NO deep cycle and/or Dual purpose. Reason....60hp motor uses a stator type charging system (not your typical alternator) and the 60hp is not designed to charge deep cycle /dual purpose type...

Batts were fully charged and were balanced. Voltage for each batt after balancing...13.40V. Now on to the installation and peripheral connections.

I currently have one group 24 LA batt that is used as both a starting batt and house batt. Boat came equipped this way new. I was first thinking about adding a second group 24 LA batt as it will fit in the batt compartment. This is the max configuration that will fit. However, since I went...

These LiTime batts do have low temp protection

They want you to "balance" batteries in parallel for 12-24 hours BEFORE connecting in series and putting them into service.

LiTime response tonight.... "Thanks for your asking. We would like to clarify that It is our new protected functions of the battery BMS ：Stop Over-charging. Please try to discharge with a small load for a few minutes and then continute to re-charge the battery to see if the resting voltage...

Yes, it has a maintenance mode after batt has been fully charged.

I am at the installation step now where I am preparing my 2 LiTime 12V/100amp Trolling Motor Edition batteries for use on my 24V NEW Terrova. According to LiTime Product Manual, the first step in preparing batteries for use is to charge them individually with the appropriate Lithium battery...

I'm debating between TWO LA group 24s or ONE of the Sam's Club Duracell AGM Group 27 for my starting/house battery. They don't sell a Group 31 or I'd get one. Since a box will not fit in this battery compartment, a tray will be used.....this is the reason for considering the AGM.

Thanks for the advice and LiFePO descriptions. I decided on the trays. Using NOCO ABYC approved trays. Since the battery area is enclosed and appears to be designed as a battery compartment, it should work well. I will need to shim the batteries at the lower part of tray (between. battery...

I thought I had it all figured out, and then....I started thinking, which is not always a good thing (analysis-paralysis) !!! What if my LiFePo4 batts started to leak (ex. crack or split in casing)? I used battery boxes in all of my previous boats (all were LA batts). This new Tracker came...

Thanks for the replies and pics. I'll try and get the breaker distance from pos battery terminal as close as possible to the 7". I will mount it to the battery compartment.
