Boat Builder Central

thanks again

thanks for the advice Larry, so will i need 2 batteries for the trowling motor and one for starting, radio, fishfinder, lights etc....3 batteries in total....2 connected to get 24 volts for trowling and one independent to get 12 volts starting etc?

thanks for the advise i have used a 12volt transom mount on this boat and it did not do much (it was an much older model). I think i may look into the 24 volt this fall, i have two batteries and a selector switch now so i think its doable. would i need one more battery(total of 3)? i like to have a ...

Thanks for the help with the pic, I had not realized it was not showing up….sorry its not a good pic but it does give an idea of the trailer…..

Several months ago I purchased a 22mako to restore and plan on it taking several years to complete. So in the mean time I plan on using the trailer a 08 tnt tandem to ferry my ph18. Can I place the bunks so that they are under the outer stringer of the ph 18, on my home built trailer they are positi...

Thanks for the advice Shine, I will surely follow it, I am sure I will have many more questions as this build progresses. I have never attempted a rebuild this big so this is going to be fun…..and I have a feeling bbc will become very familiar with my shipping address…
