Hello there:
I have a 2002 Sailfish with twin Yamaha F225's. I fish for salmon and troll at about 700-900 rpm on one of the motors. The whole area of batteries and charging systems is a bit of a mystery to me. While fishing I'm running fish finder, GPS, vhf radio, stereo and downriggers. I would also like to use the fridge to keep my bait frozen (and beer cold) but have held back because of concerns of draining the batteries. Can anybody give me any advice on how much charge my motor is giving the batteries vs the drain of what I am using?
Thanks for any help.
