That’s a great setup! I see a downfall to having a deep V boat vs a bass boat is the battery compartment. I have too for just 1 starting battery in back and 2 trolling batteries up front.

Hey Jayden, this is the one I went with. I don’t have a big battery storage area so I couldn’t go with two regular size in parallel with each other. So I went with the biggest size I could. Even though it melted the regulator, I had plenty of power to run graphs and livewll all day long.

Brian Latimer as long as your using a modern Mercury 4 stroke you will be fine. Mercury upgraded the regulator in recent years and now prefer the AGM battery for the 4 stroke. I didn’t know any of this either, but my mechanic guy gave me a master class the other day.

So hopefully I can help someone else from making the same mistake. I added a couple graphs to my bow and wanted a bigger starting battery to handle it all. Current one wasn’t cutting it. I went with a bigger AGM battery which I didn’t know, older 2 stroke Mercurys can’t handle it. Mine is a 2004. It ended up melting the altinator regulator. The new Mercury 4 strokes don’t have this issue. Found this out while my boat was getting winterized.

Essentially if you catch a fish that fits the length or weight that is on the chart in your region and fill out the form. In-Fisherman sends you a master angler patch.
