Charging is needed when using electric down riggers and trolling all day. Also nice if your battery has died for what ever random reason. Just pull start the kicker and let it charge the battery enough to get the main running.
Thanks. I could see a retrofit being useful, but I've sunk enough into it. I've got two batteries on board anyway if things go south. And if they both die Ill just motor home with the kicker. You can go on improving things forever if you have the wallet.
