    replacing carpet in bass boat

    I'd like to pull the old carpet up without much damage so I can use it as a template. It's coming up reluctantly though and I've torn it in a few spots. I've been reading about acetone for softening and removing the glue. Is it possible to pour the acetone right onto the carpet and then...

    Re: 1986 Quicksilver Controls - Neutral Lock Rod

    2 bank charger and 3 batteries

    I just moved from a 12v trolling motor to a 24v set up. I've been using a 2 bank onboard charger on the 2 batteries but now that I have 3, will one bank handle the cranking while the other bank handles both trolling motor batteries? They're wired in series. If so, how is bank 2 wired to the...
