Need some help guys on selecting the best batteries for my boat. I have a 24 volt system and a Terrova 80# trolling motor. My current batteries are on their 4th season. I use the spot lock a lot and if there's any kind of wind my batteries are juiced after a couple hours of fishing. I know most of you guys out there have way more experience than i do with this matter so I appreciate any and all help!

I have the same set-up and use Optima Blue top batteries, www.streetsideauto.com had the best price when I bought mine.
It ain't easy making it look easy.

Use nothing but cabellas AGM batteries. Always at least 5 years no problem no maintence. Just catch them on sale and they are not that expensive. Johnny

I suspect you have 27s as the batteries for your trolling motor. I would look into 29s or 31s to replace the 27s. Rick

I didn't see in your post if yours are deep cycle or not..definately get deep cycle group 29 or 31.

Thanks Texas bass1 and bronco71. Definitely go with a 31 series. Any particular brand you favor?

Cabelas AGM are great. I've had good luck with Excide also. Have only used Optima for starting battery with no problems.

Just replaced my (3) 6 year old Optima Blue Tops. Got them from www.streetsideauto.com also. Best prices I found.
