Default RE: alternator output

416 watts (amps x voltage)

32 amps x 12 volts (typical)

This does not give you how much reserve power you have for accessories

Go here for an idea....http://www.hdtalking.com/ext.php?ref...scapacity.html

Fishing is good.

Ice is about 24" thick now (bad winter, usually about 36")


Bryan - thanks for the updated capacity.
