The only way that setup seems doable is if the lights are 120v. Unless of course it comes with 3 batteries wired in parallel. I have a chart of amp draw for different size motors, but it's at work and I'm sure someone will chime in before tomorrow.

 

The generator is for the lights...otherwise it's not needed....batteries for troller....lights would need own batteries I believe if u want to run silent...u only need the converters if you are trolling long tournaments and want constant full battery power...u will need more generator also....depends on what u r trying to accomplish...

 

My point is I believe the lights are 120 volt not 12 volt....2 55 amp converters and lights will be just over your genies max continuous output....the onboard charger is for slow charging only

 

Is your troller 24 volt??

 

Nope lights are 12v wired to battery, lights come on without generator being on. And it's a 12v troller. I'm a little baffled that a boat that's supposed to be so thought out you just gotta hit the water only has 2 batteries and no converter. Also noticed all the wires are connected with open ended butt connectors and not even the heat shrink kind.

 

Well that's just stupid....lol....the generator is useless without converters....u need 1 converter for each battery running off your generator....that way your troller and lights will run all night....55 would work but someone more experienced with smaller troller amp draw may have a cheaper idea...that setup makes no sense to me....but I may be missing something...

 

Is this a pre owned boat or straight from bass pro?????

 

Straight from Bass Pro. And yes, it doesn't make sense to me why they would do that.

 

So is the generator hooked to anything????

 

The only plug you got is for the onboard charger.

 

55# is 50a
7-50w is 27a

55a converter might be enough, 75a sure would be. Leave the on-board charger wired for charging at home.
Wire batteries together if they aren't already to make 1-12v system.

 

Exactly what I was thinkin just wasn't sure on troller amps so didn't know which converter. Thanks tjones. :tu:

 

Some one was sold a bill of goods...

 

Similar question: I have a powermax 55. Will that run a 24 v troller or do I need 2 55s?

 

2 55s. One for each battery

 

My dad purchased the same boat. He took it back and they put a third battery and another on board charger for free. Still doesn't fix the lights shutting off. The great part of this boat is when. It works it's turn key and fishes very well. Bad side is Bass Pro service doesn't have a clue how to work on the lights.

 

I run 10 50watt LEDs and a power max 55 amp on a Yamaha 2000 and have had not problems. I wouldn't worry about using a bigger generator.

 

Sorry I skipped a couple post. I'd go with the 75 amp it's puts you right at the max of that generator but don't worry it won't stay their long enough.
