[QUOTE="moerawn, post: 89162, member: 1601"] 2-3. You should not need to disconect when chargeing, the charger is not going to hurt the motor, plus if the motor is in the off position it should not draw any current. also check the manual that came with the charger, most chargers now days are designed to be automatic and only push current to the battery when the battery need chargeing, when the battery is fully charged the charger should go into standby mode, thus not pushing any current to the battery. So it should not overcharge, overheat, or cause fire. If I was going to leave my battery hooked up to my motor all of the time I would put a batery disconect switch (you can get them from wal-mart in the automotive section) and disconect power to the motor when not in use. This prevents the kiddos from turning the motor on in the event they want to play bass hunter in the boat when you are not around. [/QUOTE]
