[QUOTE="screwballl, post: 181932, member: 4837"] The more accessories you add, the more drain is put on the battery. Typically if there is anything more than just a single light or small fishfinder being used, it is better to pick up a second battery and wire it in parallel (POS to POS, NEG to NEG) thus doubling your Amp hours. For an aerator or livewell pump, it may also help to get a timer for it, typically they are on for 5 minutes, off for 5 minutes. This should save on battery usage as well. [/QUOTE]
