I have a 55PD 12 volt, can I get another battery and hook up some type of switch, so when the 1st battery runs out I can switch to the second one?

Thanks

I think they have a switch like that in the basspro catalog or check your local marina or boat dealership.

yes same amount of power but longer run time, i am told you will actually get up to 3 x the amount of run time but i dont know that for sure it is what i have been told.

Do a search. It was listed here awhile back. A picked up a 55PD too and am going to try one battery the first year before commiting to a 2nd and an onboard charger.

Red to red, black to black all the way to the motor. Make sure each has a breaker or fuse.
