    Trolling motor set up for Champ 203

    Are you guys running 24 or 36 volt trolling motor on this rig, and is there room for 3 batteries for 36 volt set up. I have 2 12.8 volt 100ah lithiums I run on my 181 already, wandering if there is room for another if I were to go to 36 volt on a 203. Thanks

    I have an Ultrex 36V 110# on my 203. I have regular wet cell group 27 batteries. 2 in the back portside storage and 1 in the back starboard side storage plus my cranking battery. Want to go lithium 36V for my trolling battery, they are group 31 but will still fit.

    36 volt in my 203. All 3 are Battle Born 100 Ah models in a single Bass Boat Technology battery tray in the left rear compartment

    For you guys that are running 36v trollers, are you running onboard chargers for all 4 batteries, and if so, where is the charger?

    I have 2 group 31 in the port side, and a group 31 cranking battery and 3 bank charger in the starboard side. I'd like to upgrade to a 36v at some point, but there isn't enough room for the charger if I add another battery.

    on my 210, I run a NOCO genius 4 bank. Cranking battery is AGM and the 3 trolling batteries are wet cell grp 27.
    The charger is mounted on the port side wall of the rear compartment.
