Need to get a new battery for a small pontoon boat used on a small
electric only lake. The motor in a Minnekota. Was hoping to learn
about some light weight battery/batteries, or some way of not having to
carry those batteries on a regular basis to be charged. (Not aging
gracefully, and the bad backs aren't getting any better with the
years.) Appreciated any suggestions! thanks


Where's the boat docked? Your property? Marina? How long would you hope to
cruise (in hours) on any given day? Which model motor? Have you been to the
mfr's site to look at their estimates for running time with certain
batteries?
