It's a 24V troller. I think the moving in and out of the boat bounces

enough to short a cell at times. When I raced cars in the 60's and early
70's, the batteries did not last a very long time. We all ran Sears
Diehards as they were warranted for life at one time.

You'd need 4 golf cart batts for a 24v system of course, but I think
you'd be impressed with their durability. They have very thick plates
and are built for exactly the type of deep discharge service that you
see with a trolling motor.

But I have to remove the batteries for charging as I store my boat at a
place with no electricity. The 2 group 27's do the job, and 3 years and $60
is acceptable.
