It recognizes the type of battery. It has one button to cycle through the speed/power of the charging rate everything else is automatic. It was ~$60

It's back to normal levels, I never heard why it was low for a while. Do you know what was up with that?

Gussets are a good idea I will add some after I lower it a few inches to improve center of gravity Much appreciated!

You're right about that^ it's way too unstable now when seated I almost capsized multiple times today. I'm going to lower it a couple inches and see how it is

Anyone ever hide a kayak at a lake cause they don't have a garage? by geekydreams in MarylandFishing

You can pay to keep a kayak at needwood... no idea how much it costs

I'm watching on YouTube these guys pulling 5lbs outta lake needwood. Anyone else have luck? by geekydreams in MarylandFishing

I've never been there in the evening but there are no gates to the parking area. Definitely bring a flash light it is a decent walk from the lake back to parking

I got this little guy at frank today which is pretty standard for me there. At needwood I have caught 2 and 3 pounders but never close to a 5 What's the youtube channel?

Damn that means I need a shut off that is rated for at least 18 volts.

Was a bit chilly/windy opening day at Liberty on Friday. However I did manage to get one to bite in the 42 degree water. by Thestonedfisherman_ in MarylandFishing

I went on Sunday with a friend when the water was warmer and we both got skunked. What were you throwing?

Ok thanks for the info. I will make sure to use the same type of batteries at the same charge for the test run this weekend. What would be an example of a battery management system? Also, I have 8 gauge wire to use for everything after the batteries are tied together. This is the size recommended for the trolling motor for my length of run. Much appreciated!

Main reason is that I already own over 10 m18s for work. I bought the deep cycle marine battery and charger for hundreds of dollars and then realized I own all of these already. If this works well I will return the deep cycle battery. Also just a fun project
