Question
Down Deep
I have a 1999 Lund ProV 1800 with a 150 Yamaha VMax 066. In six seasons I've burned through 4 starting batterys. Most recently a less than 2 year old Interstate 24M 800 cold & 1000 Marine. It crashed last November. Now I'm about to install battery #5.
The livewells, lights, power tilt and motor and one fish finder are the only things that are hooked to the battery. Three years ago at the suggestion of a marine mechanic I installed a MinnKota single bank charger that had all the electronics to keep the battery charged, but that didn't solve the problem as I've been though two batteries. I had the motor and draw checked by a marine dealer and a auto electric shop and both of them told me everything checked out ok. The marine mechanic said that the depth finder had a very low draw and shouldn't be the problem especially with the charger. The boat gets about 40 to 45 days per year. I store it in my garage, do all the necessary battery and terminal maintenance. I pull it and store it indoors for the winter months. The other boats I've owned I replaced a starting battery about once every 5 or 6 years.
Any ideas?????????
