Here's my problem. My 23' bayboat was set up at the factory with a wired system for a trolling motor. This system is a plug in at the bow that runs to a 4 battery charger in the console.
From the charger I have 4 leads to 4 batteries.
Seems simple!
Here's the problem......
I have two group 27 batteries designated for starting the engine.
But, last weekend I bought a minnkota riptide st that must run off 3 deep cycle batteries.
Here's my questions:
1. Could I piggyback the two batteries for the engine?
2. Do I need 2 starting batteries?
3. Could I find a single more powerful battery that would take the place of the orginal 2 starting batteries so I could gain the room for the additional 3 trolling motor batteries?
4. Could this minnkota riptide ST be maintained on just 2 deep cycle batteries instead of 3?
I would appreciate anyone's help.
Thanks
