Fish Finder and live-well off one 12v battery?
I'm continuing to outfit my new (and first) boat. It's a Tracker 1548 (15') jon. It has a 9.9 hp manual start 4 stroke. No alternator or battery charging capability.
I want to install a fish finder/gps and a livewell. Forgive my newbie questions, but here's what I'd like to know:
1) Can I run a fish finder/gps directly from a battery? Anything special about hooking one up (ie fuses, etc)?
2) If I can, I'd like to run a small live well w/ airator off the same battery. Is that possible and OK?
3) What type of battery is recommended?
4) Neither the fish finder or livewell should draw much power. Can i expect "all day" power if I use them both at the same time on one battery?
5) Any other recommendations would be appreciated. (I'm really looking to keep it all simple.)
