New Battery

[ryanmitchell]

So we added a new Humminbird 898 to the console, attached the power to the front battery, and now the battery is torched as the indicator lights on the tolling motor don't light up, or light up very dim. The 898 powers up for a few seconds and then powers down.

What brand of battery would you suggest for a the front of the boat. We are running 12 volt. Need to buy a new one.

Optima, Duralast, Walmart? Thanks!

If you can afford Optima's then get them. After that the best are the AGM. You can get the AGM from Cabelas if it's near your house.
