Re: Marine Battery
turbinedoctor...whatever batts you get, if ya really want 'em to last, install an on-board battery charger...two of my batts are 6 yrs old and strong as new cause they're always on the charger when not in use...keeps 'em hot and hot batts are HAPPY batts...I've got two Die-Hard crankin/deep-cycles marines for startin' and accessory...and two group 31 AC Delcos for the elec. trollin' motor :) ...

Re: Marine Battery
I thought about installing a onboard charger and plugging it in when backed into the garage. What size and type do you have. Have you ever dried out a batt leaving it on charge?
How about the fire hazzard with a hot batt gassing off and a 60 gallon tank of gasoline so close together? One spark in an enclosed but detached garage and I may have to place a call saying "Houston, I think we have a problem".

Re: Marine Battery
Since we are on the battery subject, read the following on isolators and integrators. I have yet to install one but would like to.
