Default Re: Best on board battery charger

Jimmy - I did some research on the HBird and Terrova interference issues so I see what you mean by the problem and the ferrite ring solution. I can't find any reports of these issues with the Xi5 and the Lowrance so I'll get it all hooked up and see if I need to add any disconnects, etc at that point. Good thing is now I'm much more sensitive to the wire routing and bundling good practices. I'll let you know if I need any help.

I am familiar with the Lowrance wifi and using a tablet. I got hooked up with a dealer who gave me such a smoking deal that I could afford to get 2 HDS 12's. My plan is to have 1 always mounted in the bow and 1 at the console and plan to (when I get used to the system) add a second mount for a tablet at the console so I can have full screen GPS up on one and full screen sonar / imaging on the other. The tablet will also allow me to have a "unit" in the stern (or a 2nd on the bow) if I ever see the need for it.

Congrats on the Crestliner - They are really nice. I was checking them out since a friend of mine is looking at getting an 1850 Raptor. I say wait for the Ulterra - it looks really cool.
