    A second battery for my 170 BR

    A second battery for my 170 BR

    I also bought two trickle chargers that cut off when battery is charged. I hook them up when in carport. That helps keep them completely charged. I believe the two of them was like 24.00 and some change. Iwill see if I can find what ones I got and post a link

    Thinking about adding a second battery

    I have a second battery for just the stereo and amp. It only gets a trickle charge when the boat is not in use. I put it in the compartment under the back seat on starboard side. When that battery dies, I will probably look into a switch and such but this was a quick fix and it is an old 1000...

    1998 230 BR Signature DECALS

    Wish I had my set up running. I just moved to AZ and plan in the next couple months to get started in doing this kind of stuff. I know it is no help now. Good luck.

    A second battery for my 170 BR

    I put one in the compartment under the seat on the starboard side rear. It operates my stereo and power amp. I have a 1000 CCA battery off a friends big boat as I just trickle charge it when not in use. Works great. Next step is the power cap I bought to help from the cutting out when above...

    St. Joe Michigan Venetian fest no longer.

    It was always something that my wife and I enjoyed while slipped up there. We still went up when we downsized boats and no longer needed a slip. Plus my brother is at Pier 33. This really sucks and bet it will hurt the local small mom and pops.

    Stereo and Battery Upgrade

    I forgot to add. I bought two trickle chargers on ebay that stops charging when full charge is achieved. One for the boat and one for the stereo/amp battery. If the later of the two drains...then no music as robbo. However, ran it for five hours the other day and there was plenty left.

    Stereo and Battery Upgrade

    That's exactly where I mounted my spare. My spare is ONLY for my stereo and amp. It is no wetter an area than where the OEM battery is. I don't have mine anchored either nor do I plan to. My battery is one of those 1000CA and the weight is enough to keep it there. Plus I have a couple small...

    Stereo and Battery Upgrade

    Oh...I also left plenty of wire on the enclosure and speakers to be able to sit the rear ones on the back seat cushions when in the sun platform position and the fronts on the back of opposing front seat in any direction. Works great. Don't have the cash for the ski bar and the speakers for...

    Stereo and Battery Upgrade

    Stereo and Battery Upgrade

    I will take pics of my 175 when I can get out there to do it. Haven't been out there in a few days. It was an easy install and still installing. Have to add the power cap now and two more speakers since there are two more outputs on the amp driving the sub. I also put the amp and sub under...
