Your big-engine, electronics-heavy rig may be the ultimate fishfinder on the water, but all that gear won't do you any good without a reliable power source. Feed the beast with Optima's BlueTop marine battery. The BlueTop has Spiracell technology, originally developed by Optima for military vehicles and transferred to heavy-duty marine applications. According to Optima, the BlueTop has nearly twice the life cycle of normal batteries, good starting power regardless of the temperature and is maintenance-free. Prices start at $139.
