I am looking to purchase a new deep cycle trolling battery. I have a Minnkota 812 Auto-pilot.. We use it mainly to steer our boat when trolling. Is this new advancement worth the extra money? I normaly replace my trolling battery each (875 CCA from Excide)? How long will these new generation batteries last? I have been looking at the Optima and Minnkota batteries.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
