[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 30148, member: 148"] Dave, I carry a short jumper cable to jump start my main motor if my cranking battery dies. The odds of both batteries dying at the same time are pretty low. Once my main is started I will head for the ramp w/o shutting it off until I get there. I do this becuase last year my cranking battery [i]did[/i] die and I had to pull the cables off it and put them on the TM battery to start the main. Now with jumpers I won't have that problem anymore. They coil up nice and small and fit between my batteries. I have also been thinking about installing a master disconnect switch for my positive battery so I can't leave anything on accidentally. Only problem is where to mount it. I can't open my battery locker with my trolling setup in place. [/QUOTE]
