battery chargers

[zinger_79]

I'm trying to find out more about batteries and battery chargers. Just bought Lund Angler 1700 tiller and plan to have MinnKota 55AP bow mount, two Lowrance X-51's, VHF Radio installed. I'm depending upon the dealer to help me, but would like to know from those whom I know are fishing hard. If this were your boat, how many batteries and what type if any of charger? Thanks a lot.

I would use three batteries, and get yourself a three bank charger to mount on board. There are a few companies that make three bank chargers, chose one fitting your price. 55# thrust? Is that a 12 volt unit or 24? Make sure you run your trolling motor on its own battery. On board 3 bank chargers well worth the money! Hope this helps!

Thanks morris. The trolling motor is a 55 lb thrust. I was leaning to a three bank charger, but unsure. Any comments about types and what I could expect to pay?? Thanks.
