Musta missed the post about the onboard smoker install. Hope it's nothing serious.

Hopefully you get that fixed. I had similar issue a few weeks ago. after 4 hours of fishing started to smell the smoke. shut everything off turned around to see 10" flames in the battery compartment. pulled the battery out of there to clear it from the gas tank. turns out the power cord to my big jon rigger had gotten pulled on and shorted out in side the switch housing. burned out the breaker and cord. hopefully you got her fixed
