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

What's about the idea of having two 6-volt batteries in serie to make
up a 12-volt system? I assume that a 6-volt battery should be lighter
than a 12-volt battery, and you may be able to handle it. I am not an
expert in this area. I am just wondering whether this idea may work
for you.
