A couple of Trojan J305H 6 volt batteries will give you 335 Amp Hours.
Thats 16 3/4 hours at a 20 amp rate or 745 minutes (12.4 hours) at a 25
amp rate. they are only 1 1/4" longer and 3 1/2" higher than a T-105,
however they do weigh 97 pounds each (70# more than a pair of T-105's)

Harlan,
I wanted a lot of capacity for my electricals while at hook, so I
researched a lot of batteries. I finally put two Trojan 105's (6V deep
cycles) in series for my boat. They have 447 minutes (7.45 hours) of
capacity at 25 amps and were about $85 each. The only drawback is they
weigh 60 Lbs apiece! Hope this helps.
Fair winds,

This takes electricity. At a dock and plugged in, no problem. But
since I have been plugged in, I have not had the joy of dropping a
hook in a beautiful gunkhole. This is gonna change.
Anyone have a recommendation for a deep cycle battery with lots of
(the most?) amp hours which I can drain at night and rely on fully
recharging during the day?
