Will this work on my fishing boat? I have two batteries..

Most boats will have a battery selector switch. #1 battery, #2 battery, Both batteries. If you do not have a selector switch this can be used to charge both batteries while the engine runs, but with the engine off you can draw down one (stereo, trolling motor, etc.) while still not affecting your ability to start with the other battery. How the batteries are wired (in parallel) will determine how your system operates. To use this relay you need to split the system, for example 1 house battery, 1 starting battery. The manual switch will still give you more control over your system, if you remember to use it.

If you hook it up right it will work fine. I am very happy with the one I installed in my Toyota. It charges both batteries when the engine is running and automatically seperates them when you turn the engine off. If you do not set it up to that way and you forget to turn off the solinoid, you can ruin both batteries.

It might, it is for running extra batteries and ill be using it for my air ride on my truck to run my two compressors. All in all great product . IT was recommended to me by several people on my forum as well as two mechanics

Yes. It will work just as well in a boat. Just follow the directions that come with it.

No, the unit should be hooked to your boat battery, via the console instrument panel, or sending unit, check your boat manual for hook updirections. Mine had an older model and i just hooked the new one where the old one hooked up under instrument panel.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for that. I use mine on my bass boat. It works great and I can be hooked up and ready to go fishing in no time now.

I am sure it would. I bought it for an electric trolling motor because it is designed to be recharged frequently without harming the integrity of the battery. My Son and his girl friend used it on our canoe last weekend and went for some distance solely on the motor. No paddling. It will certainly turn over an outboard.

Most boat batteries are deep cell which may need a different charge rate than this unit can provide. Contact your boat battery manufacturer for specific charging specs. If you can use this battery tender then you can only charge one battery at a time. You also cannot leave it connected all the time it will over charge the battery after the green charged light comes on. Amazon should sell the Battery Tender quick disconnect lead that will work with this charger. It has 2 large eyelet ring connectors to the battery a fuse and a plug to the Battery Tender Lead.

I don't use a fish finder. You will have to have a decent size deep cell battery. Im sure a fish finder would work fine off of it too.

If you get the 24 volt charger it'll work fine..I use it on my boat hooked up for 24 volts for my trolling motor.

This battery is best for a fish finder. I'd get a bigger one for an electric trolling motor.

yes you can make it work but you would have to mount a transducer and carry a battery a much better choice would be a Humminbird Fishing Buddy its all self contained and portable see link. http://www.humminbird.com/Products/110-Fishin-Buddy/

It will work any rc, but it is not waterproof.. So you will be safe only if the hull is watertight.. And yes you would need one per battery..

I got mine hooked right up to the main battery in my boat.. I guess it's up to how long your gonna use it for.

If your fish finder is a 12 volt unit I don't see why it wouldn't. This little battery lasts all day long on my Eagle II and still has plenty of charge. What I love about this little battery is it is small, no weight and works great/

Yes. I separated my batteries for one to crank the motor and one to run house accessories. When the motor starts, the cranking battery gets charged first, then when 13.2 volts or so are reached the relay turns on and charges the house battery. At this point both batteries are being charged at the same time. My boat has a 70amp alt on it and the system works great. Pain to install but well worth it. Hope this helps. ~ Robert

I use mine on my boat battery. Have not had any problems to date but the boat has not been used a lot so we are talking maybe 5 - 10 charges.

That should work I have a smaller battery for a trolling motor that worked well for me.

Not sure the on board charge in my boat will turn on and off when battery need charged. The charger on the pump is the same amperage but not positive that the charger is of the quality as DUAL PRO charger in my rig. Everything looks lit it should work but to be safe, I would try to contact customer support.

Sorry I don't know if it will work on one battery, I have it on a 4 battery system and it works great.
