I’m always looking for an advantage to improve my fishing. Granted, it can be expensive, but well worth it in the long run. Replaced the gen1 360 with a Mega 360. A few years ago, gave up the glass and went back to a skinny water boat. G3 1648 with a 25 hp motor vs big motors and glass. Switching over to Lithium batteries for trolling motor and single battery for electronics. Keeping a small wet cell for motor. Using Iconic Litiums as they have a outstanding phone app to motor your battery usage. http://www.drew-tek.com/parts/product-category/lithium/
Here is another good lithium battery however. LiFePO4 Batteries 12V Affordable Lithium Battery | Energized Outdoors | Amped Outdoors . 3rd, I installed and am using a Silent Stalker on the front to quiet the slap of the waves down. Silent Stalker . I shaved 225 lbs of weight off the rig using lithiums while increasing my electrical output as lithium’s will give me 100% power with no decrease as you use them like wetcellls do. Will keep you updated as I fish this spring as to how it all works out.
