Nice report Cevans thanks. Hoping to get my trolling motor battery early this week. My old ones wore out. I cant complain though got 6 years out of one of them. I was running jumper cables on a 12 volt system. It seemed to really extend the life of the batteries but now I got two that don't hold a charge well so opted for a new Optima. I got the biggest in hope of running with just one battery and of course a battery for the outboard. Hoping to get up there later this week.
