    Default If at first you don't succeed.....



    Get the opinions of a bunch of gewbers and try and do it right the next time. I was able to run over to West Memphis today and get my warranty replacement and new cart battery ( thanks BRM ) and I decided while I was replacing my trolling batteries to go ahead and replace and upgrade the cranking/accessories battery too. I'm good for at least the next 18 months now. Ready to rock and roll again once this rain stops and everything stables off a little bit. Thanks to everyone on helping me get my dilemma solved and I will see you on the water.

    You got her covered now. Think you may have done a overkill on the water though. Sure hope you don't need 2 gal in next 18 mo.

    Would depend on what you used them for, I wouldn't even use them to start a small car. I mean they'd be better than nothing, but remember many TM's run a 50/60 amp breaker.

    I would only use them to jump my starter battery from my trolling batteries. I have a bunch of stuff connected to the starter battery and it would suck to have and take all the leads off. I have a heavy duty set at the house for my truck.

    Those cables will be fine to jump your outboard off with....I keep a set on my boat. No more than the outboard starter pulls for a short time to crank it, you will be OK.
