Had not thought of the copper tubing, great idea! I wonder how it would push through with the paracord already in the tubing...

Any tips/tricks to pulling trolling motor power supply wires down the fuel fill chase into the center console area on a 2300DV?

Put in line space #3 please

Agree on both points. Even when I wash mine down after a trip all that water runs out of the scuppers. The only time my bilge has been wet was when the baitwell pump cartridge came out of the housing on a rough ride in. And when I say wet, brother she was wet 😂

What do you know about this technology? http://www.stealth1charging.com/Conclusion.html

I've been researching the AGM batteries. I've heard a lot of great resposnes on the NorthStar line of batteries. No, I don't have unlimited money but high quality fuel, filters, and batteries are on the top of my must have list ;)

It's not a change that will be happening for me soon (I hope). I've read a couple of articles that a few companies are working on a solution. I know one of the major problems when charging lithiums with the alternator is the alternator over heats and fails. I'm hopeful they have this resolved so...

I bought this battery: https://lithiumhub.com/product/36-volt-50ah-lithium-battery/ And this charger: https://lithiumhub.com/product/ionic-2-bank-battery-charger/ I had another charger on order but cancelled after finding out it’s charge rate was incorrect

Agree, I ordered a charger specific for the lithium with a single 36v bank. I know I’ll have to use a dedicated lithium charger for the house/start batteries if I make that change.

Great day to be out with the family!

I’m going lithium with my trolling battery (single 36v). If it performs as they claim I’m going to change over my house & starting battery when the time comes

Pulled my anchor pulpit off my 2300dv in preparation for the trolling motor install. I don’t see needing this in the future so I’m offering it up for free (pick up only) if someone wants it. I’ll be glad to ship it if the person who wants it pays the shipping. It is surprisingly heavy.

Just did a little research (which I should have done before I started). 95.5” Thanks Inshore Chaser for the heads up!

I don’t but I guessed it at 96”. I should have enough safety factor built in to be ok. I kept it another 6” inside the rail

I’m going to put the Battery Tender trolling motor plug on the lower lip of the anchor locker where the duct tape is

Once I get the house/start batteries relocated, I’m going to put a small starboard “wall” with holes along the bottom of it to allow water to drain between the bilge area and the area where the batteries were & use that area to store my cast net

With the freshwater tank out I had plenty of room for the new lithium trolling battery and the relocation of the house & cranking battery. I was able to get the lithium battery tray installed this morning.

I’ll be able to reuse the bottom smallest cleat hole when I relocate the cleat after the trolling motor is installed

Next, I traced the layout of the mounting plate so my fiberglass guy can see which holes to glass in and also which ones he can leave rough & which ones need “cosmetic” repairs as he called it

I then placed the aluminum mounting plate and used a 1”x4” the same length as the motor (motor will not be in until about 4/16) to make sure my proposed layout kept the motor inside the rub rail yet wouldn’t be in the way when stowed of the forward storage areas.
