[QUOTE="GTS225, post: 487395, member: 6678"] There is a modicum of truth to the warning, depending on the type of battery that you use. Regular Lead-acid (automotive) batteries will get "beat to death", due to the internal plates bouncing around and out of position. It might shorten the "normal" life by a year, but the benefits you'll experience will be better than running around bow-high all the time. Now, if you use a gel-cell, or AGM battery, the issue is negated by the the internal structure, but gel-cells and AGM are more expensive. Maybe. Five gallons of fuel is what......about 35-40 pounds? I might think about trying to place it mid-boat, if you can, rather than up front with the batts. Just my 2-pence.....Roger [/QUOTE]
