    Lithium batteries SDC/XRS

    Anybody having issues with bow lift with lithium batteries? I know when i put them on my 20XD i lost a lot of bow lift. I'm assuming the longer boat would affect it more?

    My new boat will have poles and a heavier 300R. So maybe balance out ?

    Only problem I saw boat leans to drivers side after swapping to lithium when solo , I move weight to the compartments behind the passenger seat. Did not notice bow lift change but never had great bow lift anyway, the hole shot got better.

    Once we get moved to Bama, I'm going to swap over to lithium and put poles on my XRS. So we will see.

    I run lithium's in my Xrs. I went from 2 group 31 optimas to 3 12v ionics. I also have 10' blades. I noticed no negative changes to the attitude of my boat.

    yup. I moved all my batteries to the passenger side, I moved my trolling motor as far as I could put it to the passenger side. I also would put all the heavier gear on the passenger side while fishing.

    I had lost speed at first. Couldn’t get the bow up, had to send my prop out to add some cup to it.

    Hyperflow what prop are you running. I cracked my Bravo 1 XS that had cup added to help bow lift since I have a lithium trolling battery.
