I agree its hard to get things back to normal including simple things like the depth offset for the transducer.
I've never been really impressed with the chart speed, but after updating to 4.130 I find it to be quite laggy. I troll along contours a lot and quite often I'm well off course before it updates...
Ranger powers their electronics with a 3 amp fuse. My Solix has had no issues at all with fuses. Definitely does not like std lead acid battery voltages though. Highly recommend lithium. My 125ah...
I went with an Ionic 125 ah lithium battery for starting/house and have never looked back. All the power related gremlins are gone assuming you have decent wiring. I'm on the OE Ranger wiring...
I think that there would be advantages to a single 36v setup provided you had a proper charger. I run 3 Ionic 100's and a MK460PC charger. Works very well, but I do find that 2 of 3 banks charge at...
I've seen on one of mine that if the voltage gets too high it does not show. Sounds like yours are at normal voltages but keep an eye on it.
Having built my own DIY 24v solar battery and set up configuration of my smart BMS I reached out to lithium hub regarding BMS protections. Disclosure: I know just enough to be dangerous, but...
Picture
The marinco plug is the 12VCP where the wires just slide in and the screw pulls down a plate to sandwich the wire. Loose as a goose on mine. It was factory installed by Ranger so that does not...
Go Lithium and don't look back! The Solix really doesn't like the voltage to be below 12.5 more or less. As voltage drops it acts stupid and problems start. I went lithium and problem solved...
So I got bit by the Marinco plug factory installed as an option by Ranger. My Ulterra was working one minute then quit. Restarted 2-3 times then nothing. To compound this I had changed the side...
I put my entire wiring system on a relay wired to my ACC switch. I don't have easy access to my battery switch plus if I turn off the switch I lose my trim/tilt.
There is running all day and there is REALLY running all day. To me REALLY running all day is trolling electric at typoical load of 6-7 at 36v. I get around 8hrs probably a bit more I haven't run...
Cranking battery is a "special needs" application. the BMS needs to be able to trim the charge current as teh voltage rises. If it does not and it "clips" you get teh issues that the poutboard mfrs...
Knowing what I know now I would definitely go lithium. Electronics like the voltage to be higher. If I had it to do again I would look really hard at building my own.
I have a full Ionic set and if I were buying ready built I'd not hesitate to do it again. That said, if I was to do the trolling setup again (not starting) I might just build my own.
I'd like to find some like this:

If Ranger wired your boat like they do the glass ones you should have a large 8 or 6 ga? wire from the battery switch to the console area already.
Match your battery voltage to your charging voltage for best results. Each battery has it's own BMS to help manage changing.
On a boat we have multi bank 12v chargers so 12v batteries best. My...
I think it is a very interesting concept and if I had room, need, and desire for all the weight of a lead battery I'd gladly do it. The lithium battery would make a great battery maintainer for the...
I run for hours on end with my Ulterra at 36v motor trolling. Prop speed varies from 5.5-7.5 depending on conditions. With 3) 100ah Ionics I use approx 10-12% per hour under these loads. I would...
Well I bought the micro remote and yes I really like it. I also charged the BT remote fully and ran with the original battery. I started it to deploy the motor and left on the entire 6 hr outing...
I'd be curious to know what the true output voltage is as well. If it's 12v which is my guess it will be too low. Seeing that it can convert 13v down I'd say it's going to be low. I'd be looking...
Yes and 100% independent no favors or sponsorship. Did my research and the APP plus reputation sold me. I'm not really an app guy, but it is just SO handy to be able to check status of each battery...
