Do you carry a portable jump starter in the boat?

[Altro Cat]

I have a Napa Blue Fuel jump starter. Also has other functions like a light, phone charger, power outlet and so on which come in handy.

BoosterPac ES5000 owned it since 2005. Goes with me every trip in the boat. On hot tournament days I run a double stone aerator off of it. I have used it on extreme wind days to boost my tired trolling motor batteries also. That's the days you usually find out they need replacement.

Nope I go to fish not play with electronics all day.

I keep a Weego in my boat and all vehicles. I never needed it on the boat, but I have used it on one of the cars and it worked perfectly.

[206champion]

I did but when I needed it it was dead so I threw it away, waste of money for me.

Weego in the truck and moves to the boat when it's in the water.
I used it several times to help folks in need.

Take it out of the boat every few months to check the charge, peace of mind

Always carry one or have jumper cables.

[basscat21]

I have just moved the motor cables over to my trollers, start then move back.

Got an old jump pack, tuff to get rid of.

Small set up jumper cables that reach from trolling battery to cranking battery, stays in boat. Never forget it nor have any Maintnance or charging them.

[dmc575]

care to expand on how to jump cranking with trolling batteries? I actually have jumpers in my boat too! is jumping cranking with trolling batteries 100% safe as long as you do it right? Ill prolly still keep it to charge my phone...but was intrigued when a buddy mentioned this

My Z21 had the switch to use one of the trolling motor batteries if needed. I had a bad cranking battery for a while and used it a lot. I won’t own another boat without one. It’s cheap and a super easy install.

I keep jumper cables also. Not for me but Bob G. Is always running his battery down making YouTube rap videos and always needs a jump.

[Upstate Gamecock]

I have jumper cables in all 3 of my boats . Don't remember when I used them last but can't use them if you ain't got them . Get ones with long cables in case trolling batteries are too weak for jump so you can get jumped from another boat .

[Kyjohn-p]

I'm not as diligent on my maintenance as some folks on here. But I also fish allot at night. I've had a dead battery at least 4 times. Jumper cables wouldn't cut it once. Had to get help from a buddy. Jumper boxes are awesome. Always have one in there now.
The last battery failure, which was a couple weeks ago. Was due to a bad livewell timer. You never know what will happen. It's worth the peace of mind to keep one.
