Anything you can cast a mile, chinnys aren't exactly picky.

Lew, nothing like pulling around a $50,000 rig and cheaping out on tires for it, lol!!!

It's not going to hurt a thing. Did you fix the wiring issue?

To be honest, I don't see many cars hand bombing boats off their roofs (Actually I don't think I've ever seen one) They can easily park in the lot just down the road and pull it across the grass and launch from the beach.

Those spots are for vehicles with trailers, if you don't have a trailer, enjoy the ticket!

That's just the output amperage though, make sure you keep an eye on the charger and don't let it over charge.

One thing I've learned is that automotive chargers tend to boil deep cycle batteries.. You really want a 'smart' charger specifically for these batteries if you want them to last.. They'll step down the charge once the battery is almost full, etc..

The charger thinks it's one big battery when they're hooked up in parallel.

I was told that the Guest charger I installed should be able to deliver close to it's max output (10a) to that single bank if need be. So I would assume the charging time would be the same regardless if you are using 1 bank @ 10amp compared to both banks at the same time @ 5amps each. Single bank will work with two batteries in parallel, yes. But if you go to a 24V system in the future, you'll require a 2 bank.. I've noticed most of the 1 banks aren't very powerful... Spring for the 2 bank and get more amperage, you'll be better off. I've got one massive deep cycle marine battery and another smaller (not so massive) deep cycle connected together on my Powerdrive. No issues with them working together.

Oh so he slammed into the back of you while you were making the left? Can't believe charges weren't filed for that.

I'll go with what the manufacturer of my trailer suggests..

So you pulled out in front of a kid and he hit you?

I run two 12v batteries on my PowerDrive.. Run them in parallel keeps 12v but doubles the amperage (They'll last long) You need to connect them - to - and + to +... If he wants to charge them with a on-board charger he's got two options. Use one bank of the charger connected to + on battery 1 and - on battery 2 with the batteries still in parallel. (This will charge them both) Or use one bank per battery, disconnected them from each other before charging (I gotta thank Roy for the above info)

10lb might coil up on them if they are using spinning reels.. Stick with 6lb

This is the reason why I usually let tractor trailers go by before I make a right on a red, even if there is an open inside lane. It's not like they turn or stop on a dime, lol.

I like fishing the French around Thanksgiving.. Always had fantastic action for smallies and pike.

So stupid to have them expire Sept 31st.

I know I've done it with NY and PA state licenses.

It will usually make that person buy a yearly non-resident license instead... Especially if they are going to go back maybe 2-3 more times.

6-8lb mono is cheap and will work just fine.

Around Thanksgiving... My fav time to hit the French.

If it's strictly for icefishing, I'd pick a snowmobile.. If you are going to pick a 4wheeler, definitely 4wd.. I've used both out on the ice, the only time the 4wheeler really struggles is when there's a lot of snow or a lot of slush.. They tend to sink compared to a snowmobile in the same conditions. When you get into back lake icefishing, snowmobile hands down.

Quetico and giant smallmouth bass... I'll be the guy paddling the SportsPal, lol!

I was just laughing at how lucky I got with that shot, it definitely was taken by me

Seeing that's it's a Mitchell, I would guess just another rod.
