    Flotation pods

    I am curious and want to possibly add a set of pods to my 98 Lowe Olympic 1862. And drawbacks people find? Or what? The reason why I am thinking this: So this will be my 3rd year with my new 02 Mercury 60hp bigfoot. The motor weighs 239lbs vs my old 86 50hp Yamaha which comes it at 165. I am...

    Ive never had any issues with a deep cycle marine battery. I also use a solar powered maintainer on my boat tho as well so the battery is always topped off for each weekend of use, as it sits all week in the water.
