    3 bank, Minn Kota.
    Or get a stealth1 charging system. On board AC charger for starting battery, and the DC charger takes care of the trolling motor batteries. And your trolling motor batteries will be charging while you are driving the boat after starting battery is charged back up. I have had great luck with the stealth DC charger. I didn't get the AC part because I already had a Minn Kota after my Dual pro took a dump. I hardly ever plugged into AC over the years. But then reading some of the comments on here about batteries, I started just putting a battery tender on the starting battery sometime. Wish I would have before my trip this past Saturday. Hadn't fished in awhile, and didn't plug it up.
    Went out, put the boat in the water, it started right up. Then idling to one of my spots in the pit, my motor died.
    Didn't want to start back up. Figured I'd drop trolling motor and keep going. But on high, it was not moving to fast. So I fished my way back to the ramp catching 3 on the way.
    Got home and plugged in the Minn Kota. One trolling motor battery was so dead would not start charging. So I put the battery tender on it, and the Minn Kota started charging it after awile. I need to check the water in them.
    Need to have the motor serviced as well. But the stealth charger has been awesome for me through the years. Just a option for you to look into.

    Hands down, Dual Pro. Great units...I had one on my last Ranger. It lasted 14 years and was going strong when I sold the boat. A couple friends that did need to send their units in said that Dual Pro had super customer service.

    Dual Pro would be my first choice and MK would be number two. I've had both and prefer Dual Pro but MK are good units too.
