Guys,
I have a dark green TopGun snap tarp on my 18' aluminum. It has one vent on the center pole. Unfortunately it has to sit outside in the weather. Will I bake my 2 trolling batteries if I leave them on board between trips? I've thought of having two more vents put on the other two poles to help with trapped heat. I have been pulling both but the 29 series is a real B to lift in and out if not needed. Thanks-Hawk
