Is the Trollbridge usable with this engine? 133 amp output but 50 net dedicated ?

They no longer sell the higher rated amperage one

Can't see why it wouldn't work.
I was concerned about the 133 amps since the Trollbridge is rated at 100 amps.
I’m guessing the dedicated is the amperage that charges the batteries?
There are several threads at this site https://www.etecownersgroup.com/categories that discuss this. Do a search there.
Be aware that as ChampionMan stated it should work but the charging output of the engine is never applied long enough to truly recharge the trolling motor batteries. It is barely suppplemental at best when considering the consumption rate of a trolling motor.
Consider the drive time from hole to hole. 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes, or what ever that drive time is for your fishing type, the engine does not run long enough to put sufficient charge to the batteries.
I am not saying the Trollbridge is bad or not worth the cost, just don’t get your expectations too high. IMO nothing beats a proper charge in good quality, well functioning, deep cycle batteries

Thanks for the input. My main reason for considering it is my main battery gets low after long fishing cycles without starting the motor. Hoping to put electronics on the trolling battery. Looks like a better option is an electronics dedicated battery.
Thanks again

Or just get the X2 from Batteries plus bulbs for a beast of a starting battery.

That’s the battery I have. I fish small lakes and most runs are under 5 minutes. It’s just not enough to charge like mentioned above.
The maximum current available from the battery cables is 50 amps. Well within the capability of the Trollbridge.
And with the option of a separate battery dedicated to the electronics is the option to use the Evinrude isolator lead to charge the dedicated battery. Or a Yandina Combiner.
Completely isolates the starting battery so that the starting battery is fully charged and available to start the motor.
Get the motor started and lead/combiner will recharge both the starting battery and the electronics battery. Provided the motor runs long enough.
