    DV, how are the Lithium batteries working? I am planning to switch later this year to 3-50AH and 125ah for cranking. Does your electronics lose power during a 8hr tournament? Cranking at end of day? Trolling motor power after 5 or 6hrs fishing?? I have a Merc 250 Opti on a Ranger, 3 Lowrance(2 Gen 3s, & 1 Gen 2), Ulterra TM. Should I go with 3-100ah trolling motor batteries or is 3-50ah batteries sufficient? Thanks, James.

    Cannot speak for everyone but 3-50's is what most run and is plenty sufficient including myself.

    Obviously if you can swing the cost of 3-100's it certainly wouldn't hurt but really that is a decision you will have to make.

    The weight savings from the lead anchors you have now is incredible. There is no describing the hole shot improvement, it is something you will have to experience for yourself.

    Make sure to get yourself an onboard 4 bank charger at the same time. When I ordered it was not out yet so I bought the single charger and flip flopped it between 4 batteries at days end and was a ROYAL PAIN IN THE A.

    Pull the trigger and never look back, you won't be disappointed!
