    2000 Marlin

    Trolling motor install on 282 Sailfish

    I test drove a 272 in Cape Coral that had Rhodan 84” on it with 3 lithium batteries, the issue here was charging the lithium batteries takes a higher output than what the engines could produce so all charging came from shore power, about 3hrs of spot lock in marginal wind and current before the...
