Ive always rigged 2 batteries on all my boats with a switch, in case i get stupid with the radio or something while drifting

I mounted a second deep cycle marine battery with a selector switch. Ive have had to switch to it when my starter was failing. I dont think a jumper would have helped. If you do go with the jumper dont buy a Stanley, I saw three brought back to Sams club yesterday! I do buy the Duracell Deep cycle battery that Sams sells and have great luck with them.

I would like to add that while I do currently run a single battery I would prefer to have two. My two previous boats had dual batteries but this one only had one and I already own a good jump box.

Unless you have a trolling motor or an invertor battery bank, there is no reason to have a deep cycle on a boat. Use a starting battery

I run dual batteries, one starting and one deep cycle, plus if I am going far, a booster pack. I also have Sea Tow. I ain't getting stuck!!!
Best scenario is two batteries as stated by many, or one battery with a tow service.
