Battery recomendation

[abl1111]

I have a 23' Tsunami w/ an 300 HP i/o - w/ (7) year old SeaHwak batteries that have worked great, but it's time to R/R.

I don't need anything too fancy as I just run a VHF, FF, and hopefully a GPS soon. I do run a livewell too.

Anyone have a brand / spec on a pair of good batteries...

Just head over to the Bargain Bilge and buy another pair of those Seahawks-I use em too and have had excellent luck.

I've always had good luck with Optima's blue tops. I have 3 in my 20sf with no problems so far and I had 2 in my 23sf with out any problems. Boats have always started right up no matter how long they have sat.

I'm using Deka AGM Group 27, I've been getting them for $159. West Marine sells 'em for $229. I believe your SeaHawks are made by Deka/East Penn. If you got 7 yrs out of them I'd go right back to them.

Another Optima blue top fan here. The gel cells are much safer.

Thx guys. That time of the year ( at least for us northeasterners )

Who makes Seahawks - looks like Deka has a SeaHawk battery but I can't find them online with the SeaHawk name.

OLDFIELDER, what model you got ? My model #'s etc have long been wiped clean over the years...

Bargain Bilge - where is that ? Patchogue ?

[oldfielder]

It's right there on that corner in Patch. I have group 27's. I put a combiner on them a few years ago and have been really happy. One deep cycle and one starting.
They're really helpful in there. You'll probably wind up buying other stuff.
