Just subbed to that channel as well now you have 730 subs as of 2 mins ago. I think I made it 730 or 731... Idk🤦‍♂️😂🤣✌️💪🦅🇺🇲..

[@colebovia9472]

Looking for a video on the pros and cons of bypassing the oil injection system on a 2003 mercury EFI and converting to mixing gas. Can’t find any was hoping y’all can do one. Could anything go wrong by doing this? Will it help improve the reliability and longevity of the engine? I am about to buy a bullet with this motor and just want another opinion.

[@bamadondon0495]

@@colebovia9472 yes! I would like to see a video or at least hear some feedback about this! I've got a 2005 Stratos were the 225 Yamaha and I've been wanting to do the same thing just out of fear that the oil injection system would go out.. but everybody I've talked to said that always keep a bag full of good spark plugs in the boat if I wanted to do that!! Idk.. would like to hear some feedback from the professionals about that situation for sure

[@blainebates1067]

3 Battle born

[@Skeedabo]

Hands down best lithium battery is Battleborn. Built in Reno, NV. RV industry has gone to them and no problems. Glad he addressed the chargers, if you don’t have a charger that can handle lithium it won’t do the job. They charge higher than lead acid, agm, gel.

[@am_sportfishin2098]

Running all Ionic blue lithium’s! They have a bluetooth app so you can keep track of power usage, charging time everything!

[@mediaspeedfilms1334]

I've been running a Lithium Pro for 2 years now. Glad I made the switch!

[@midlanticfishing5405]

Did you replace (3) AGM/Lead with (1) 36v lithium?

[@danknight8058]

Great information. I switched from Optima Blue top AGM's to Battle Born Lithium batteries (2 - 24 volt system) and couldn't be happier. I saved a total of around 60 lbs and I never have to worry about running out of power during the day. The bonus is they are much easier to pull out of the boat when I place it into winter storage.

[@patricklangley7516]

I was wanting a lithium battery but was not sure what to buy. After watching your video I ordered a Monster 36v for my Ultrex. Thank you for the video

[@Bpressly033]

I'm running 3 of the 75ah Relion lithium batteries for my trolling motor. It really helped the hole shot on my old Triton TR21X. Also I updated chargers to the NOCO Genius Genpro10x4 charger to charge my AGM cranking battery, and 3 lithium batteries.

I just started running Miller Tech cranking and 36 V trolling, along with the Miller Tech Charger! Best investment!

[@240LTS]

... 11/16/2022 ... Monday, 11/14/2022, I removed 3- 12v group 27 wet cell batteries and the 3 bank Minn Kota charger. I installed a Monster Marine, Lithium, 36V, 50Ah for my Motorguide Xi5 and the Monster Marine 12V and 36V charger. I reduced the weight by 144.2 lbs from my Triton240 LTS, bay boat center console. CANNOT wait to use it OTW. Thanks for the video that helped me see the light. Love your channel. . Jeff .

[@tannerherrington8914]

The weight difference would be great for the guys running tin rigs. I personally have the RT188 with the 115. If I could save that much weight it would be a game changer! Andy always coming in clutch with the knowledge! SPEED MONEY NO BRAKES!

[@c.shoefish]

I have a 16' smoker craft, I run two 100ah Amperetime lithiums for my trolling motor, and have a group 27 lead acid for my accessories and cranking my Yamaha 30 tiller. All getting charged By a noco 5x3. By getting rid of my two group 31s It dropped over 100 lbs, hole shot is way better, tows better, and gained like 2 mph on top end. I wish I had the money for Dakota, but I've had nothing but good luck with these and they were about half the price. Cool video man.

[@featherweight1910]

Great video; appreciate hearing real facts and experience from a service shop. Putting a Minn Kota on my saltwater skiff and have been considering lithium. Now I’m sold!

[@scottappley2626]

I’ve ran Miller Tech batteries, 12 volt in a 24v system for two years. Worth every penny. They have there own charges system. Biggest thing Is don’t over charge. I now run a timer to the charger to be sure it’s off in two hours. Average charge time after a long day is three hours

[@teebowersox458]

I'm running HOE Hennessey outdoors electronics made lithium Batts 36v and 2 12 v they work perfect!!! Brigg and his guys hooked them up they make them in house all have built in switches to protect your motor if something was to happen. Iv been super happy also run the power pole charge. I can fish for days without having to plug in.

[@jeffporter100]

Great video! I am using 2 100ah Impulse lithium with Bluetooth app for Ultrex and haven’t gotten them below them below about 60 percent even in high winds and high current for hours. Still use a blue top optima for motor since it is in great shape. The Noco charger has been great for all batteries since you can change the charger settings for each battery.

[@HunterThomasFishing]

Love my ionics 👍🏻 Yamaha 250 HPDI turning a 27p t1 and the hole shot immaculate. Took out 4 x2 battery’s and replaced them with a 36v and a 12v 125.

[@drakelawrence6379]

Have a monster marine lithium I use as a cranking and accessory battery in my duck boat. Think I’ve had it for 3 or so years now. Bought one because their company is in Arkansas which is where I live. I have loved it. Never have to charge it hardly ever. It gets beat up constantly, like I said it’s in a duck boat in arkansas. I use it to hunt, fish, sandbar ride, all sorts of stuff. My old one had an outboard so wasn’t as bad, but my new one has a mud motor. Swapped it to my new boat after I sold my edge and its taken everything I have thrown to it on this havoc mstc and runs my gatortail, 40 watt cubes on the back, southern lite rooster tail on my gatortail, southern lite gen3 light bar, Phoenix interior strip lights, lights in all my hatches, southern kite exterior strip lights, 4 8 inch speakers in my boat with an amp, probably forgetting my stuff but what it boils to is it runs a whole lot of stuff. I don’t lose power through any of it like I would with a flooded or agm. The lights are the brightest they can be and the speakers are as loud as they can be with everything on at once. I will never own another boat without one. I use their little 30 ah to run a livewell and my livescope stuff fishing. Best thing I ever did was switch my stuff on my personal boat to lithiums. Next year before summer I’m overhauling our bay boat with lithiums instead of flooded for weight savings and once again full power to everything no matter how many accessories are being used

I learned a lot. I follow a few inshore boat builders down here in Florida. Lithium batteries for those boats multiplied a ton. Lithium battery pros. Bass boas even tin. Inshore flats boats bay boats even your bigger offshore boats. All those boats great value for lithium. Now here’s where a question lithium. A 1660 Jon tiller 50hp I don’t see a much of a gain

I run a monster 36v 50ah with a power pole charge. When I went to this set up my boat sat 4inch higher on the trailer. My hole shot is amazing. Getting a monster for a starting cant wait to see what happens with that in my boat.

[@jeremyhorn8735]

What’s everyone’s thoughts about doing 1 (36v) or 3 (12v) system for the trolling motor? Just worried that if the 36v goes bad then your down but if you have 3 12s then at least you still could run the trolling motor even if one battery goes bad.

[@CMDAVISs]

oh i didnt see your comment but i had the same question...

[@plem7210]

@@CMDAVISs The thing to compare is the amps also. My understanding is the one 36 volt battery. The monster does say 74 amps. But a lot of batterys are labeled 50 amps 36 volts. Does not have as much run time as three 100 amp lithium’s anyways. Kind of also depends on if you fish in the middle of nowhere. Say going to Canada for a week. If your one 36 volt went down. If you are close to some stores. You could quickly buy three super cheap flooded cells. Throw them in to Finish out the weeks vacation. I know 36 volt minnkotas could sort of work on 24 volt. But not really recommended compared to the force trolling motors. That can run on either. If money was not a factor. You could install two 36 volt battery’s in the boat. If one went bad. You would still have 36 volt. The only thing to check. Is not all the lithium’s can be hooked up to each other. Not sure if you could hook up two 36 volt batterys together. Might depend on brand.

[@js4391]

Any opinions on the RoyPow lithium. i run an all electric boat with a 60 volt ray which can be ran at 72 volts. Roypow makes a 72 volt pack and was curious if you guys have any experience with them

Battle born in the old boat and ionic in the vexus 100ah. So far I freaking love them. Price is crazy but I hate charging and swapping batteries

[@zacharyjordan1873]

I have a vexus 1880 my question is did you have to upgrade the charger. Mine has the real pro 3 bank charger and I was wondering if that would work for lithium batteries?

[@adrianalvarado7407]

The charger should be a specific lithium charcher. My battle born had a battle born smart charger. A smart charger can charge agm, lith, and lead acid batteries.

Running millertechs and will never go back. Nothing frustrated me more then my trolling motor battery’s running out of power, now I don’t have to worry about that anymore. Had them for 4 years now

[@jeffpratt2842]

I'm running Gline lithium with a NOCO charger. To me if your not using a good charger it's like putting bad gas in your boat. NOCO chargers can charge a different battery type on each lead which is nice if your cranking battery is lead acid AGM etc.

[@jasonrutherfordbassfishing]

I’m running 4 lithiums 3 for the TM, one for the graphs and using the Minn Kota digital set to AGM which charges them perfectly. I’m running an X2 AGM for cranking/house power and it’s amazing. I think X2 is making lithiums so when these ones I’m running kick I’ll be running X2 pure in the back. Speed Money No Breaks!

Gread Vid, very informative... Suggest to either mic up the other guy in the room asking the questions or repeat his question...

[@darrinburrell7211]

I got 4 of the pro-guide lithium and love them. My question is should I run them all the way down or is it OK to charge after each day ? Never had them below 50% after 12hrs of use on my solixs 15 and 12 pulling a of voltage.

[@jasonspandet6058]

when I upgrade to a ultrex I plan on adding one of those monster 24v lithium batteries. I say buy once cry once its worth the purchase.

[@GeraldPetersen-xn9hx]

Im fine with the new sonar. My problem is going 70 mph to the next spot, some go 80 or 100 mph. Your asking for speed limits with the leash talk.

[@shoemakeb]

Had a Relion for a starting battery with an older 2 stroke. The issue was the protection circuit disconnects the battery if it detects a voltage/current problem. Once that happened, it disconnects. That causes the voltage regular to fry (same as disconnecting a battery while the motor is running). Had to switch back to a flooded for the starter and put the lithium up front for electronics. Running 2 Solix 12's all day used 20% capacity.

[@jiggn158]

I have a 1995 XR I mercury and I think I would have the same problem after investigating. I'm glad I didn't do that first. Now that I have heard what you said. Good info

[@Evilbiscuit66]

Does using lithium starting battery void your warranty on a 250 Yamaha sho the new motor

[@johnnyc848]

I had lithiumpro batteries in my boat back a few years back. They lasted me only about 3.5 years. I tried to coordinate with LP and their “prorated” replacement was going to about 75% of new cost. I went back to traditional batteries and have no regrets. If you loose your 36V during a tournament you can’t get it replaced quickly at a local parts store. Unless you are able to have a spare 36V battery with you. I like the concept of them but the cost was / is pretty pretty steep still. Hopefully they keep improving the technology on them and bring the price down.

[@bobbyyoung7836]

I heard from a electrical engineer, you can use a standard charger if it puts out 14v....?

[@michaelchingman7376]

Would you run your graphs off those with the trolling motor or just get a separate smaller battery?

[@dhuba2685]

As a Fireman, Andy is 100% correct. Never have any Discharge when charging lithium. Isolate them and have a GOOD charger. Treat the batteries right and you will be a believer.

[@TeamMarineService]

#truth

[@incognito7018]

Soo this is exactly why my relions blew up on me- I had 2 go bad in less than a week. Relion blamed the power pole charge- charge blamed the battery. I replaced relion with powerhouse lithium which has its own app and I can see what the charge is actually doing to the battery. During charging the charge discharges the 12v lithiums to correct a non existing imbalance - creating a real imbalance and thus creating a never ending cycle of discharge while charging and NEVER allowing the batteries to get to 100%

[@NytronX]

@@incognito7018 So what was the solution? Throw the Power-Pole Charge in the lake?

[@incognito7018]

@NytronX dealer forced a refund- swapped to a minkota charger . Done with power pole forever Edit- alot of fuckery from powerpole and no solutions offered, they acknowledged they knew aboit thr problem but werent notifying customers of the danger to theier batteries...extremely disappointed with their customer service - thus why I'm never buying from them again

[@NytronX]

@@incognito7018 Good to know. Power-pole is a joke with their Blades as well. The pump units aren't even mildly water resistant, let alone waterproof, and they're suppose to be put in a bilge/splashwell area. Terrible design, when you google about it nothing but people having the same issues.

[@nathangravert8999]

Be careful with that powerpole charge. I know several people here locally that are having their lithiums go into sleep mode. Got rid of the charge and no issues since. I love my ionics with noco gen4pro charger. If I'm not mistaken a lot of batteries are now coming out with a BMS system to protect them from overcharging.

[@patrick23henry]

I think it's overkill to have a Charge and lithiums, but there are many documented issues with the Charge and lithiums together nonetheless. A software update has been released by Power-Pole that should fix that issue.

[@owenburnikel9731]

What size of battery (ah) would you recommend for a 24V Terrova on an 18.5' aluminum boat to troll 1.5-2.0 mph for 8 hours?

[@TeamMarineService]

There's a lot of variables that are involved with that. We'd recommend the highest amp hour battery or batteries you can afford. Then you won't have to worry. 2x 12v 120ah Monsters should do the job all day

So can you run a lithium for starting a 250ss???

[@TeamMarineService]

You can but we dont recommend

[@mattna7612]

Andy love the videos. I use bass pro lithiums (got a deal on them). They are rebadged relions and I have had great luck with them. One thing to note on safety is that these batteris are lithium-iron composition as opposed to lithium-ion you find in watches and cell phones. It is my understanding that the chemistry in these batteries are more stable but at the cost of a little capacity in comparison to lithium-ion.

[@floridasaltlife]

Yes, this is a huge differentiator....

I just removed three Odyssey Extremes @ 78 pounds each, and added a single Monster Marine 36v, 73ah lithium. I already had the Power Pole Charge. I believe that this is the best set up possible. I run a Ghost trolling motor. Is okay to manually trip the trolling motor breaker to recharge my batteries? I’ve heard that this can weaken the breaker over time. Would it be better to add a Perko switch in series with the existing breaker as a means of disconnecting power from the trolling motor? Love your videos by the way! Send me a hat so I can represent in Utah! Thanks guys.

You can manually trip that breaker but it will weaken it over time. The quality of the breaker will determine how long it lasts.

[@dankrzoska2292]

73AH seems kinda low to run a modern trolling motor all day no? Maybe I’m wrong?

[@Diddyoil09er]

Would you use 1 36v for the 36v 112lb minkota trolling? Thoughts

[@TeamMarineService]

We like the idea

[@Majeskty]

I have been using the Dakota Lithium 36v 63 ah for my Ulterra, this year and has worked well. Purchase a few years back believing I would use it the following year, however COVID hit, for boat production and trolling motor availability. 2023 I finally have been able to use everything together and the battery for the trolling motor has been great. I saw a review on KZbin of DL 36v 60, so they must have changed the model. That review fished for 10 hours straight and mentioned he was in a fishing tournament fishing 13 hours and the battery held up with is DL and 36v trolling motor. He had estimated that he could get 15 hours on a single charge for his purposes. Power curve is long, so you get full voltage until almost to the end. You have consistent level power and longevity for each outing depending on size. Lots to consider in choices out there, some with Bluetooth now to tell you the condition of your battery, voltage, temp, capacity remaining, cool idea. Best to you should you decide on one, my battery weights about same as 1 lead acid battery instead of 3 connected together.

[@TheKodiakWay]

What's the runtime difference between 3x12v 125ah, and 2x36v 73ah...?

[@robbaize4193]

Power pole charge, no problem 36 v lithium and a flooded 12 v battery?

[@BrettGreen]

Power pole charge works best with single 24v or 36v batteries on trolling side over 2-3 12v. Get a monster 36v and lithium cranking

[@shoemakeb]

Also - Have 3 battleborn lithiums on my trolling motor. Big motor died and trolling motor got me SEVERAL miles up the lake with 27% charge left
