| Pretty much agree with VMS, except that I have never come off the water, and had a fully charged starting battery. I always have an on board charger, and I always plug it in when I put the boat up. The starting battery is always the last to reach it's full charge. One reason is the short run time of the big motor, especially when muskie fishing. The other is all the stuff that draws on the starter battery. Radio's, livewell, sonars, GPS, Marine radio, and the most newer motors(DI/EFI) have some current draw when not running. I had to replace my starter battery this year alaready. It's not fun to do when in a tourney, and on the water! I need to get those jumper cables back in the boat! | |
