I have been running 4 cart batts in the back of my Cat and am trying to reduce some weight back there. The run I have been cranking with and running ALL my accessories on was bought in Feb of this yearr and dated A-13 so it was made January of this year. These things are awesome as far a deep cycle batt goes and they run around 175 to 200 bucks new, will make someone a heck of a deal on a 6 month old battery, pm me for price.
Have you discovered the pull start feature? I believe I'd leave the cranking battery in it. JMO.
I believe he's gonna use the #3 batt for that. Don't be a smart arseQuote:

Wasn't tryin to be a smart arse. Geeze Louise, you should lighten up a little. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Think of a calm quiet place.
Quit getting into arguments and making fun of folks jigjern. That's my job and frankly, I'm better at it than you. Else, I'll have my moderators give you a time out and a beating down at the wood shed. Don't make me do it.

What's wrong with a calm quiet place? I go there frequently.
Naw not doing away with a cranking batt just gonna use a lighter, shorter one and move it forward some. Where I want to put it the cart batt is too tall. Dont think you should run anything but a trolling motor on your trolling motor batts.

Hmmm. That's odd. Seems like them fine fiberglass boats, that any "serious" fisherman can't live without, should be able to carry four batteries in the battery compartment. Mine can. And it's one of them "tin" boats than anyone moving out of a fiberglass boat would "regret". Wonder how it would perform with the other tank of gas? Goober.
Just saying.
Not sure what you are talking about but the boat is also underpowered, lets compare the ride. Sure I could put the 200 on it and it wouldnt even be an issue but dont see a need to take the 150 off till it blows or I find another hull for it.
Another thing you dont concider with your smart self is that your boat was built in 2013 and mine was built in 1985 so surely in 30 years they have improved some proformance issues and no one ran more than 3 batts in the back in 1985. If I had spent 40000 bucks on my ride it had darn well hop on plane with whatever I put in it.
If you were half smart as you think you are you'd be danmgerous, go back to sleep.
:popcorn
what windstone said !!
Play nice sleepy and goober.
Maybe in my young age I have yet to develop the level of cantankerous-ness in some of the gewber-geezers (at 26 your all geezers to me :D) round here but this is sure starting to feel like bass fishing in some of these threads as of late. Wish you would have done this last week, just put 8 new 12volts in my center console.
Hey slab, if your ever looking for work on down the road, your gonna be perfect for teaching kindergarden! :)

No worries Rees! Got a charter coming up to go chase some tuna and just wanted the peace of mind.
Way too much fussing and bickering going on here lately......lets all just learn to agree to disagree with civility please
Or, better yet, if you disagree just let it go. Don't even post on it.
this would be an awesome batt for the deer stand this winter while hunting hogs at night, son of a gun will hold a charge forever and run a BIG Q Beam forever befoe having to charge it back up. Just a thought.
I was wonder why can't you run other things off your trolling batteries.Just curious
Not reccomended Big C, you can get interference from the trolling motor to your electronics plus you dont want to pull on one battery harder than your are on the others. Cuts down on the life span of all 3 (in this case). From the time I unstrap the boat I run a radio, 2 depth finders, and an 2 areators cutting one of those off while running the outboard. Use alot of juice most days, specially when we are pulling cranks.
Here you go Big C. I have 2 batteries for my 12 V trolling motor, with 2 fish finders on them. A full charge on the batteries and motor off I get a voltage reading of 12.4 volts on the front finder. Speed 1 will drop the voltage to 12 volts. Speed 2 will drop it to 11.6 volts. Turn the motor off and it's back to 12.4 volts. Weird things happen when the voltage gets down to 10.6. Black dots that look like fish show up on the screen.
