Any comments will be appreciated.
Space was also the big issue on my boat....not a lot of space for batteries but I needed lots of battery power. But I could fit two D34 Optimas in there and wire them parallel. That is the setup I have now and battery power is the absolute last worry I have while fishing. I can't come close to running it down trolling in hard wind all weekend without recharging.
