    Battery booster for boat

    Anyone have any experiences with a portable battery booster on a boat to jump start when your battery is totally dead? I’ve never had a dead battery, I replace them before that happens, but I think it would be something good to have. I wasn’t sure if these new little ones would start a 250 with a dead battery. Thanks.

    Little ones will get you started most just can not be left on for a sustained boost if you were going to use it on your trolling motor battery’s

    A jump and charge 660 can be left on .. no electronics to fry inside

    I have one and it has paid for itself with jumping trucks in parking lot after leaving lights on all day. Have only jumped 1 boat and it was a 250 VERADO.

    I have a Weego my mother in law bought me for Christmas.

    it saved my butt a few weeks ago striper fishing. Started my Merc 250 just fine.
    ive since used it to jump my tractor and a 4 wheeler we hadn’t driven for awhile.

    I’m a believer.

    I have a Noco gb70 I keep in the truck and put it in the boat when fishing. Works great on trucks but haven't needed it in the boat yet
    A mistake on your part does not constitute a emergency on my part.
