We have a 2021 Z19 Pro. It is equipped with 3 graphs, two Humminbird Helix 8s and one Helix 10. It does have the Humminbird network hub, installed at the factory. All wiring is standard Nitro from the factory.
Previously I was having cranking battery issues, first with the original Interstage 31 AGM. At about 8 months old, it would lose voltage after 4-6 hours of fishing. I do not use live wells very often as I do not tournament fish. It would drop enough (11.4v), that it would not crank the Pro XS 200 4 stroke and I would have to use the jump switch to start it. BPS dealer replaced the Interstate battery. About 4 months later, the replacement battery did the same thing. I believe the Interstate AGM 31 does not have the spec CCA, it has 925, vs the 975 spec from Mercury. So, I bit the bullet and bought an Odyssey group 31 AGM with 1150 CCA. It has worked great until last week, 14 month old, it started doing the same thing on two seperate fishing trips. After 3 battery failures, I am beginning to think there is someting wrong with the boat wiring that is causing batteries to deteriorate.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues? I have sent an email to the vendor I bought the Odyssey from to enquire about warranty procedures.
Help please!
PS I have a NOCO Genius 3 bank 10 amp charger that came with the boat. I have added a Stealth 1 charger that charges the trolling batteries when the gas motor is running.
