Even though I believe that this should be fine ... Does anyone have a reason it wouldn’t be ok to power my PP pumps from the first TM battery (+ side of the 36v cluster )? It would be a way cleaner install in my case.
Thanks

We suggest going to the cranking battery, like to have no other amp draw off the trolling motor batteries. however you can go to whatever battery you like.
No issue with this other than the need to add an extra battery ON/OFF switch to kill power when not in use or when charging batteries.
It may also be possible to get a low voltage signal on the pump or no operation towards the end of a day with extended use on your trolling motor battery.
The at rest power draw (anchored or stowed) of a dual pump set up is less than 21mA.
This is why we suggest to our customers to go to the cranking battery.Originally Posted by PowerPoleTech
Thanks for the info. I appreciate the responses. I have a cut off on the TM batts, and I am not worried about them running low. This will work much better for my build.
I have been running a pair of blades on a pair of Tm (36v) batteries, one each and you should randomly switch the the third battery and such just to wear them evenly over time. Been 2 full years and zero issues

I'm intrigued by this idea. I'd much rather put them one each on each of the TM batteries. With everything else I have my cranking seems to lose charge much quicker the the TM.
What concerns should I be having? Damage?
I would be concerned about low voltage and possibly emi messing with the pump electronics
I agree...it's standard in the marine industry that everything is hooked to the cranking battery and only the trolling motor on trolling motor batteries.
