Trolling Motor 2320

[Crusader]

Had a Rhodan 96” 36 volt trolling motor installed. Super job, from cutting rail with a swing bracket to, putting 3 series 31 deep cycle batteries and charger as far forward as possible, and charging port outside by step. The extra weight, over 200lbs, as far forward as possible, helps bring the bow down as this boat rides proud. I have been a Minn Kota owner/user for years, but am impressed with the Rhodan.

Nice! You should put protective boots over at least the positive terminals on those batteries though.

Yup - good safety tip. I missed that, as they are installed in a a secure box.
TY!

Can you tell me the parts you used to connect the rails with the pin?

 

[Crusader]

Called my installer and he said he bought all rail materials on Amazon. Sorry, I couldnt be more specific, but that installation was above my pay grade. I anguished over cutting the rail for 6 months. I am sure a large marine store would have hinge and gate?

I am looking to have something similar put on my 2320. Who did you hire ? Would you make any changes ? Thanks

Maaan, the door is going to hit your plug when charging, it appears.
