I am thinking of buying a new kicker for my 17' aluminum. I run 2 batteries with a cross over switch and 2 electric scotties.
Question is, I'm wondering if I need to spend the exra money to get a kicker that will charge my batteries while I'm trolling?
I remember when I had a kicker on my last boat, I was running on the little motor the large majority of the time - but I was running manual downriggers on that boat so it didn't really matter. Will the electric scotties run my batteries down if I am on them all day?
Any help is appreciated.
