Recently had two 27 series optima blue tops go out on my boat. One was stickered 6/17 and the other 5/15 so they’re out of warranty. I have a Champion 203dc with a 36v 112 minn Kota fortrex (ultrex someday). I obviously need to replace two and the third will come shortly after. I also want the biggest battery I can get, thinking the bigger the longer it’ll last while fishing.
My question is, the battery tray had a spacer that says th marine 31. My thought process is since the optima is shaped weird there’s an adapter for a traditional wet cell battery tray that a 31 series battery will fit but it was a 27 series optima adapter. Can I put a 31 in this tray or does it have to be a 27. I’ve measured the battery tray and took some pics. I know this sounds weird but I don’t want to replace the trays and want to fit the biggest in there.
As much as I’d like to replace with an optima blue top, I simply can’t afford 3 new blue tops at $225 a piece when I can get the deep cycle interstate from academy for $100 each. Anyone with experience please help me with this dilemma haha.
