Only several inches; however, you can deploy, pause the deploy, open hatch and re stow. Ideally there would be a swivel bad allowing everything to pivot off to the side so you can do so. I think Troll Ski is working on solutions for that
Great video. Some thoughts: (1) the temperature in hull is pretty high (150-200 F). It seems exceeding the work range of most Li Batteries. Do you see any issues there? (2) When parallelizing batteries ideally they should be identical. If not there might be risk that one battery ended up often charges the other and the battery pair become less durable. Appreciate you could share your experience how it goes and if this set up lasts. Many thanks!
Great thoughts. I actually just got another lithium to replace the last lead acid so both will be the same. As far as when running them in parallel, every few months I rotate their position.
Great video I have two 2019 Sea-Doo’s a GTX 300 Limited and a RXT-X 300 can you tell me if these will fit in my jet skis and can you give me the Part number for them Please !
Hey so just watched this is this the 12v 20 Ah “ kayak” battery from them? I didn’t see one in the lithium power site specific to skis. Also how has it been holding up I’m thinking of talking the plunge myself.
@@Soggydoggyfishing So I got mine today for my ‘18 wake pro. So the Lithium battery power battery is about 1/4” too big for the tray. Did this fit yours perfect or did you mix the tray to accommodate it?
@@Soggydoggyfishing I decided to just convert a new one over. So if any one sees this, Wake Pro 230 you will need BRP Part Number 278003473 (~ 20$) and will need some 3/16 pop rivets with a broad head to switch this over. You will need to cut the battery support to accomodate the battery size then you will need a spacer to fill in the width (I 3d printed a spacer (3/16” x 2.5” x 6 7/8”). Also talked to Will at LBP, super nice guy, and make sure that you order the High performance variant of this battery (12v 20 Ah) as this one allows a boost to start (think better CCA).
What is the purpose of having 2 x batteries in parallel ? if one goes flat, they both go flat ? Why not have a battery selector switch on them, & run on battery "A" all the time and keep battery "B" as a back up ? G'Day from Melbourne Australia
Yeah, but you DID NOT show the difficult task of trying to get the strap back over the top of the battery and strapped onto the other hook, which is very difficult !!
Long time no see. Glad ypur back!!!!!!!!-
Thanks! I have a few videos to post here. How have you been?!
Hi there, nice to see you have a Boxer as well as a Fish Pro! how do you get the battery strap on & off? i can’t quite see what i’m doing? Patrick
Very good to know that you it can be replaced with Lithium .
How is the battery working? Can you share the link to the lithium battery?
I've been reading all the threads. Did he buy a separate charger for the lithium battery since its different from a lead battery
Hey are you able to open the front hatch on your ski with the trolling motor in the stowed position

I cannot say enough great stuff about them. My ski has a secondary 12 volt battery and just got another to replace it with!

@@OctopusPrime138 mine fit perfect. Can you alter one side of the gray?

@@OctopusPrime138 noted!!!

What’s the 2yr review of the lithium?

I am counting that neither go flat. I am running my radio the entire time I am fishing with the ski off.
nice rail
Thanks

You didn’t show how to remove it
