Im curious about battery choices from the group. I have a 17 ft aluminum bass boat.
Im running a 40 hp outboard and a kicker motor, downriggers ,etc. I currently have two fairly heavy deep cycle marine batteries to support it all. The trouble is , those two batteries add quite a bit of weight to the already loaded up back end taking a little longer to plane, etc.
I started reading about lighter weight alternatives. Im curious , has anyone else had this concern before , did you change your battery setup to something lighter ?
