Will be running my 55# 12v MinnKota I-piolt motor on the bow.
Battery -
"NAUTILUS-Exide" MARINE DUAL PURPOSE STARTING & TROLLING BATTERY
*13"L x 6-13/16"W x 10-1/4"H
*12 volt
*NC-27 battery type
*27 BCI group size
*730 cranking amps
*160 min. at 25 amps reserve
Looking at Onboard Chargers
Minn Kota
Mk106D - MK110D
One Bank - 6amp or 10amp. I understand the 10 is
faster but when I will have overnight to recharge before we
hit the water again at the soonest is'nt the lower amp easier
on the battery?
Also looking at the Battery Tender has a new waterproof
but in 5 amp only. Its a little more money than the Minnkota
MK106D but havent heard much on them. I use that brand on my
motorcycle over the winter but just a maintainer.
