Im about to replace both of my boat batteries and am asking for advice on which ones to get. With so many different types, i.e. sealed, gel, lead acid, deep cycle, starting, etc etc, it gets confusing. I run a dual battery setup on my 22 foot carolina skiff that has a suzuki 140a outboard on it. Need to do it soon, because i want to go out and play next saturday. Thnx in advance.

Get a Walmart battery. They all last the same so you mine as well go cheap and have a warranty that works anywhere 24/7Comment

I have an optima blue top in one of my boats. It's so old it bothers me. It works great, but it has lasted way longer than a boat battery should. It's almost 10 years old and has never been charged. It only sees seasonal use.Comment

I kept buying batteries from academy but they would not hold charges longer than 6 months. I bought two bluetop optimas 32 or 34 I can't remember. I had two deep cycle batteries and a starting battery before the optimas, but these optimas have such high CCA I didn't even need a starting battery. It also helped me shed another 60lbs in the boat.

Just make sure they are 1000 cranking amp starting batteries. When you install them don’t use wing nuts. Use stainless steel hex nuts and tighten them with a wrench.Comment
