I have had a good run with Full River batteries - 5+ yrs!

I’m with Fuzz!
A 250 Yammie and a suitable kicker is the way to go!

I run 5 x AGM batteries - 3 x on the 112lb trolling motor and 2 x in parallel on the house plus a lead acid start battery = 6 in total. I would like to go lithium but I dont know enough about them.

Pssst! Where I come from a 23’ trailer boat is NOT considered small!

I roll the glass off a tube and always have a helper and go nuts.

Ditto!

More fairing your way but looks fine.

Just thought I would let you know that Glossie, his wife and his mistress Sandy should have come through the visit from Alfred unscathed!

Ended up staying well clear of Noosa.

Stay safe Michael! :D Having been through more cyclones (hurricanes) than I have fingers and toes, I think you should be OK. 100 km (60 miles) north of the crossing point of a Cat 2 should be out of any real danger zone. Preparation is the key - and you seem to have that covered. Regards Lee PS: Am ...
