[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 471839, member: 22613"] You'd be asking a lot of the outboard charging system. 17 amps between two batteries is not much, especially when other demands are considered. That 17 amps is at WOT too, it's probably less than half that at idle or trolling speeds. My guess is that with the TM running hard, the charging system would not be able to keep up at all. I'd probably try to get a second trolling battery and a good onboard charger. I have two group 29s, and have yet to run them below 50%, even trolling with my Terrova for 4-5 hours straight. [/QUOTE]
