    Late bloomer ha….lol Wasn’t into drinking……starting “partying” at 13. Know what you mean about Farsi all hair….had hair at my shoulders and a full beard by 16. Used to go downtown to see the “working ladies”. Stop in one of the Gentlemen’s clubs “for a beer” if the barkers would let you in

    Boat ramp courtesy

    The problem you run into is that ramps can and do have very different etiquettes at different times and places. Ramp etiquette is very different when I launch at my usual 5:00 and 5:15 am compared to the 10:30 am Saturday morning crowd.

    Electricsl problem

    Not a good link You can’t power a 120VAC device with 12VDC Are you sure the light bar isn’t rated at 120W (watts)? Watts / actual voltage= amps Guessing your “Amazon” switch is wired incorrectly of shorting to ground internally

    Deep cycle battries and standard car battries

    You are correct….CCA is calculated at 0* F. MCA is calculated at 32* F. MCA rating is 133% of CCA rating. In theory…. “Actual Cranking Amps” at 70F would be 166% of CCA Here is a list of OEM recommended battery sizes. https://www.dekabatteries.com/assets/base/0406MarineApplicationslayout.pdf...
