Ive always had a bare minimum boat with clamp on running lights when dock light fishing, portable small battery for trolling motor, etc. looking for a more permanent, while still minimalistic approach to my new skiff. From what I’ve researched, it seems like I’ll run a positive from the boat to a fuse block, which I’ll run all my positives to, and a growing buss where all the grounds go.
I’m planning on picking up a newer Yamaha f25. I’m Just fine with pull start so I’m not worried about hooking the motor to the battery, unless it’s advised to do so. Not even sure how to go about using the motor to charge the battery to be honest.
I only need to run trim tabs, running lights, Lowrance Elite 5, and 55# 12v Minn Kota. The trolling motor will be minimally used in areas with very little current. Very few times will all of those be running at the same time. Can I get by with one deep cycle battery? I have an outlet in the boat house that I can use to charge the battery after the day is over.
