Has anyone tried hooking up a solar charger to the battery for their trolling motor while they are on the water? I am only using a single 12 volt battery, and can normally get a whole day of fishing out of it if I start fully charged, but I am thinking if I hooked up a solar charger to the battery, I would never have to stop fishing! At least not to recharge the batteries! All joking aside, I thought it might be handy for an extended trip where I might not have the opportunity for shore power. I already have a solar panel that I bought for camping. I think I need a voltage regulator to make sure I do not over charge the battery on a really sunny day. Thoughts or experiences?
