Orkney 520/Longliner

#1 Post by hush1 »

Anybody any thoughts on a good light weight marine battery that would suit a 17ft orkney?

GPS/marine radio/fishfinder and electric start all need to be taken into consideration for battery selection?

Engine size would be more important as you would need the power in the battery to start it.
