Steve--- You pretty much summed up my fishing habits and how my boat is
rigged was also on the money.. I am not able to install an additional
battery because I just don't have the room. Although I believe that an
additional battery is the way to go... I think a three bank charger is the
best way for me to go.I don't like my 5 amp [2 bank] charger much anyway
.It's to slow.
Thanks for the suggestions
Ken

Ken,

A three bank charger is a good idea, but if you're going to leave everything
hooked to the starting battery, it would be another good idea to keep a set
of jumper cables in the boat with you.

In the fall, I guide a lot for muskies and we drag suckers while casting
lures for muskies. At anywhere between $2.50 -$5.00 each, I hate to see any
of them die in the livewell, so I leave the aeration pump on the timer.
There's been times that I had to use the jumper cables because the starting
battery was pulled down enough from just the aerator pump that it wouldn't
start the outboard. If I remember correctly, Warren had this happen during
a tournament and missed weigh-in because of a drained starting battery.
