In my 28ss the the batteries are long and narrow (similar to a John Deere tractor) the batterey mounts bolt into the hull through factory holes in the stringers. Did the factory use theese long narrow batteries or has this been done by someone else?

My 20' originally came with the same size battery.

Thanks, I am going to get rid of theose batteries, they are junk and take up too much room, besides that I can not find a batterey of that dimmension that is worth a damn.

Buy the Optimas so you can get the cool holders from Eddie Marine!

THRILLSEEKER

Scott, that is what I am going to do. I am not sure about the cool holders from EM, but definately Optimas, not sure whether to go blue or yellow, I am going to have to check out some specs first.

Hey Audio, I need one on each side to run just the boat stuff. and I am either going to add more batteries or a good on board charger to power my sound system. Which do you think would be better? Do they make a batterey charger/maintainer. that I can hardwire to my batteries that I can plug into shore power to keep my batteries up while I am jamming at the dock, or pretty much just power my system at the dock?

I have a yellow top in my truck right now and I love it.

Scott

If it was me I would buy the deepest cycle battery they make and I'm thinking it's one of the yellow tops (not sure). You are turning over a set of stock compression small blocks and you probably run your sound system on a weekend more than the boat see the direction I'm going here I expect to see a set of nice shiney boxes from E.M. in your bilge they are a must with the Optimas

THRILLSEEKER

Scott, I am pretty sure that the yellow is the deepest.
Those stock small blocks may not be stock in the spring, right now they are laying on my shop floor in a hundred pieces But if you are going to twist my arm about the boxes..............

Now, where the hell did I put that E.M. catalog?
