me and my buddy both watch them work on our local lake, even better when the big tourney bag is on sale, less than 10 bucks! also if you like to wacky rig, get some O rings or the saddle (my fav) they will last even longer!

Been thinking Kayaks, right away i thought about the FS128T talked to some people about the FS128T then started noticing the FS12T $200 cheaper, lighter so if you can make a comparison for anyone who has been on both what are your thoughts? or thoughts on either model you own. Some notes, I have a small trailer i plan to use to haul the Yak for loading and unloading. Also i gotta get the wife one so getting one $200 cheaper really sounds great! I dont want to be in the situation and go "whlep i should have spent the extra $200" but honestly from what i have seen on youtube and some reviews i "think" i'll be perfectly happy with the FS12T Thanks for the help/input!

Didnt see one online, but was wondering if there was a cranking rod version of the carbonlite rod?

Also im looking for a practice partner, if anyone knows anyone going to fish this thing. will help with Gas money for the day. just want to get on water and get comfortable with some Hartwell bass

yup i just read that over the weekend, bed fishing and wacky worm. should be a different story in two weeks. thanks i'll take all the luck i can get! ha

Qualified for the ABA Ray Scott National Championship. Any must haves or go too's i need to pack with me on my first trip to lake Hartwell? Im going as a Co-Angler. I have embraced the drop shot so thats going for sure!

Update one of the reason I was also pulling my hair out to get this fixed is, I was selling the boat. Guy ended up coming that night and buying from me. He was actually a re-seller and had an "in" with BPS, said he wasn't worried about it and could get it taken care of. So ended up being a win/win ill probably stay boat less for a while, I fish a lot of Co Aangler stuff and my tourney/fishing buddy has a Z8 so it's not hurting me to not have one. But I will miss it

just got the new battery in and nope charger still wont kick over to charge mode red or go fish green. pulling my hair out now lol looks like a new charger is in my future. yeeeesh.

ok the one battery that was low didnt hold a charge over night, its almost dead. So looks like a new battery is in my future.

water filled up, 2 out of 3 batteries were at 12 volts, one was at 5 volts. I put a charger on the 5 volts and it brought it up to 12 currently. XPS charger still wont kick on at the moment, still blue light. Left XPS charger plugged in thinking maybe it will take a few to cycle? no idea but out of ideas at the moment. Called BPS they think its a bad battery said rarely its the charger it could be but its rare.

just looked at the batteries and my buddy thinks the water looked a little low, going to get some distilled water to see if thats the problem.

Here is all i found so far. I havnt unplugged anything since the last time it worked so i know its wired correctly. what does it mean when the blue ring light is on but no other lights will come on and will not charge batteries? asked 4 years, 6 months ago by captainwill on Bass Pro Shops XPS Intelligent Technology Series Onboard Marine Battery Charger - XPS iT 10/10 1 answer Answers answer 1 Battery(s) are not charging, Blue AC Power Light Ring, RED Charging and Battery Type LEDs are On Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections at each battery, and that all connections are clean and tight. Confirm that there are no Bank Trouble Status LED indicators on. If they are check the battery and battery connections at the battery indicated on the unit. Note: Incorrect wiring will result in reverse polarity or high reverse voltage, in the event this happens, the XPSiT Charger has been designed to not fail as a result, however it will cause the charger to "internally disconnect" and provide "no output" until the (reverse polarity) caused by putting the "Red" + lead on a - negative battery terminal)and/or the (high reverse DC voltage caused by taking one bank cable and spreading it across two batteries) is corrected, using the wiring diagrams as shown on pages 11-18. With the charger on, read DC voltage at each battery. If any of the readings are less than 13 Volts DC proceed with the following: A. Disconnect AC power at the 120VAC outlet. B. Go to pages 11-18 of this manual and confirm your XPSiT model charger is connected correctly as illustrated in the installation drawings. C. Upon Completing B above; Plug your charger into AC Power and observe the LED center. Charger should be in the charging Mode (Charge Status Indicator should be Red). If after completing a full charge cycle, 10-12 hours or more for deeply discharged or completely dead batteries, the Charge Status Indicator should be Green and the Go Fish! indicator should be on as well as the Blue AC Power Light Ring.

nope it was working fine, there are some fuses on the lines from the charger to the batteries, i'll check in the AM, after that im stumped.

Sup Chris! It's been over a year so I doubt it, that's all I could come up with on my google search. I got a voltage tester around here somewhere may try and throw a charger in the batteries. Batteries should still be good to. figure I'll try one of the tracker dealers in the AM

When I plugged up on Saturday it's not giving me my blinking red ring of light saying its charging, all I get is solid blue. Not sure what to do? googled it and said something about wait a 12+ hr cycle and then see. well still nothing. lights come on, everything else works, trolling motor getting weak is all I can tell. anything to try or check?? thanks!
