What is everyone's thoughts on a cranking battery? Brand, CCA, etc. Going into a Triton TR186 Bass Boat with Console and Front Fishfinders.
Thanks in advance.

Really depends on your motor. Merc’s require huge batteries, Yamis you can use a smaller battery.

You need a minimum of 800cca or 1000mca (some rate it differently, depending on manufacture). I’ll post a link of batteries that are good for mercs. I’m assuming you have an Opti or Pro XS, if you have an EFI, then I might be telling you wrong info; because I don’t know what they need to fire up. http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=20671&highlight=batteries+meet

I never worried too much about CCAs on my Black Max. I looked for high reserve capacity.
