Another battery question post.

On my Waco I moved the batteries to the front of the boat and dramatically
shortened the cables. Now I can get two days of use out of a pair of
batteries.

O.K., I took the Ranger out for the first time yesterday and after about 4
hours of fishing and motoring about I noticed that the battery that starts
the motor (cranking) was getting noticeably weak. I also feel that I'm
not
getting full power from my 2 trolling motor batteries. So, the question
is
: Do any of you have specific name brand recommendations or style/type
suggestions? I think I will replace all 3 this week if I can, but I don't
know where to look for a good set. The batteries were only about a year
old
when I picked up the boat 3 years ago, but I think they've finally had it.

Thanks,

P.S. Me and a friend had 10 stripers on the Hackensack River in case you
were wondering, none bigger than about 4.5 lbs. but most over 3.

I can't really do that, I have a battery box and I'm stuck with it. I think
these batteries are just done. I could milk them till there's nothing left,
but I'd rather not get stuck or have issues with trolling against current.
The easiest thing now is to replace them.
