Battery plug installed and compatible with lithium battery charger! Planning to try out the new lithium battery set up next week!

Final Decision! Well, after reviewing about 26 different lithium battery suppliers and based on information here and Facebook Jon boat forums, I finally decided to purchase from Amped Outdoors. They seem like a solid company, their warranty process appears reasonably and customer support were...

Note: It was also suggested to just remove the spring which is interesting but I’ll see how it works on the water first!

Had 3/4”ID x 2” OD washers tack welded to spring on SHORELINE MARINE pedestal seat mount. Provides nice bearing surface and keeps the spring from otherwise digging into the plastic bushing on the Attwood Swivl-Eze pedestal base. Sprayed with some white lithium grease. Should make it last longer!

Got it! Thank you for your feedback!

Nice! Yes, I am also looking into upgrading my battery charger! Thank you for the information and reply!

Thank you for the reply Mr. G! Haven’t had a lot of experience with marine batteries so I’m reading up on it and appreciate the your input! My understanding is the amp hour rating for the trolling motor is given at max amps so I’ve tried to assess my needs based on usage. My 62 lb thrust...

Thank you Jim! I’m on the Millennium Marine Facebook page and updates for new products. I saw their rod holder that fits on top of the gunnel. I suggested that they design it so it’s both a Rod carrier and then attach it as a rod holder when you get to the boat! Will be interesting if they...
