Location: Eau Claire, WI | Hi Tuffy1,
A few years back, I had a problem in my boat w/ a 27 Interstate in situations you describe. I'd fish long hours at night and there wasn't enough left to turn over the opti. There was enough left though to start the kicker so I'd fire that up, let it run a few minutes then I'd start the opti. It worked in a pinch but hardly the way to go.
I replaced with a 31 AGM and never looked back. I have 2-520c, 1-x67c, and 1-HDS5 running off this battery plus lights, marine radio (don't use it all the time though), plus starting the opti and the kicker. Will probably be adding a stereo this year so I'll be pushing it harder yet.
I'm not sure who the mfg is for my AGM. The battery is branded by CarQuest.
Good luck,
Jono
