group 31 batteries

[robert]

I posted this same message but got no input a few months ago. I purchased 2 new group 31s for my trolling motor. I had a heck of a time inserting them into the space provided in my BassPort pro. In fact, I couldn't do it by myself, I had to call my fishing buddy for help. We eventually did a sort of "sling harness" to get them in the two spaces. Any input on an easy way to install them? If I wind up keeping this boat, eventually it will need new batteries. Has anyone installed 31s in a Bassport Pro and if so, how did you do it?

Thanks,
Robert

Either start lifting weights OR buy a single Lithium Pro 24v @ 31.5LB which will most likely last you well over 10 years!!!

Robert, would group 27's help much at all in the space saving aspect..?

I Googled lithium pro's for my xb02... One 12v cranker (only 600cca) and a 24volt for the TM would set a dude back about $3k, that's for the small offerings... Up it it a big troller batt and we're in the upper $3's... ummm, no.......

LOL!! No!! Just that the listed MSRP on their website is nowhere near what Nancy will charge you. They are an OEM for the Lithium Pro's

Well, on that note I'll give her a call... Thanks..
