Had a rough day on lake yesterday. My partner didn't get relieved on time and was 2 hours late. We fished all day, had 2 in live well. Went to leave and go to weigh in and the new optima gel cranking bat was dead, wouldn't turn engine over at all. The electronics and aerators had been working. I remember hearing the aerators, don't exactly remember looking at electronic the last 30 mins or so. Had to crank boat off of one of the trolling motor batteries. Had the optima about 2 months or so. I have built in trickle charger for trolling motor bats, but not cranking bat. Thinking I might need one, not sure where to mount it though. Didn't run big motor more than 30 mins all day. Do most bass boats have cranking battery on plug up charger? Just looking for thoughts on this, it has me a little gun shy now. What a helpless feeling.
Thanks,
Britt
