I have a small SLA battery 18ah in a box. Yea I had the boat set up like a kayak. Which is what I’ve been using (until I started working on the boat and learned that plug and play wire was a bad move). During the day it only powers the fish finder and I’ve used it for that all day without putting a dent in the power. I’ve stayed out after dark (not very long) and my anchor/navigation lights are led then I used the to led flood lights for loading.That being said I’m adding more light for night fishing , charging receptacles  and fortunately never had to use the bilge pump. I’ve always had a way to switch over to the trolling motor battery if needed. My future plan is to get a larger battery though and it’ll go behind the bench. If I ever run it out of juice while on the water that bigger battery will come sooner than later. I’m waiting because it’s about time to replace the trolling motor battery. That budget thing again.</blockquote>
