I get it, limited space or weight restrictions. Just lower your expectation on how long you can go on a charge.
Thanks again. Minn Kota recommended 105/27 group. So taking you advise, I yanked up the bow deck, and relocated the batteries closer to the hatch opening so I can lift them in and out easier, and so I can check water levels without moving batteries. I agree, pulling 6 planet boards with 4 down poles out and bucking a head wind would me a bad time to find out Minn Kota was right 🤔🤔🤬🤬👍
