Default Solar Panel

Since we've been having battery trouble on our boat, we've been looking into these. Our boat (16' Tracker deep-V) only has one batter for cranking, two FF's, and the TM. The battery would drain in about 2 hrs of fishing with the troller and we've have to start then engine and troll for musky for a while while it recharged. Seeing as I want to bass fish more this year, we can't have a batter run down in a couple hours.

We took the TM to the tracker repair center at BPS and they figured out it was drawing battery even while it was off due to two wires touching... They fixed it, but we still need something else.

If we can't find a place for a TM only battery, then we're gonna need something to charge it on the water.

Anyone have any experience with the solar panels? they worth the 50 or so bucks? And how do you set them up in the electrical system?

Thanks guys,
BB
