Battery Help!!

[Csseay17]

I need battery help for my current boat.
I have a 16ft Riverhawk with 2 trolling motors
45 on the front and I think a minn kota 30 tiller on the rear. I really can’t remember the size

No electronics other than front and rear lights.

Would a 27 deep cycle work or would a 29 be better suited?

I use this for local island hunts. May run it motors for 10-30 minutes to the island, hunt, 10-30 minutes back then recharge. I do this for 4 days. 2-3 times a year.

What are you using now? How has the battery worked for you? I say you can never have too much battery capacity as long as you have enough room and can handle the weight of a larger battery.

Bigger is always better, especially on lead acid batteries...drawing them down to far can cause permanent damage.

My father in law had a blue top optima 32 I borrowed as he replaced all his ranger batteries. I had a buddy with a spare 2 weekends ago that was a 29.

As big as will fit. Don't skimp on battery.
