Reply With QuoteI use 27s and have yet to run them dead on even the windiest day. But I also run a 36 volt system so that may have some bearing on it. I do believe 31s are quite a lot heavier?

time to change my trolling batteries
so I have a question for ya'all who like to work out your batteries. as far as run-time between charges is concerned, are group 31 Rv deep cycles worth the extra money and weight, compared to a standard group 27? (I am told there's no group 29????)
I had blue-tops. like them but the run time seems short these days, tested them and one of them is done. so I have decided to go back to lead acid, just getting Napa brand since my pops works there and I'm gonna get the good guy deal.....

There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

I run 27's currently and don't have a bit of trouble staying all day. I drift when there is a breeze, so normally I run the big motor more than the tm anyway. I can't spider rig into the wind. Don't catch anything for the waves slapping the boat and its more than my nerves can bear. Lol

well, thanks for the advice folks, but I made my purchase today. I bought the 31's, I compared the weight of the 31 vs. the 27 and there was only about 10lbs difference and 30$ extra per battery. as much as I troll crankbaits and drift for catfish, I thought I might regret not buying the slightly bigger batteries. now I have all 3 batteries new for the season and ready to go! all I need now is some time off and some water!
