How long can I rock out the radio before I need to start being worried about the battery going dead with the boat off. I am about to purchase a 4X75W amp to power 4 6-1/2's. Do I need to worry about getting an extra battery?

I am not exactly how sure long the battery would last, never really pushed it. Adding an extra battery would be a wise choice especially if you are going to be pulling more voltage. :thumbup1:

Any guestimation? What is the longest you have had music going without cranking the engine again? Anyone?

I have only run ours for about an hour or 2 before we crank up to go somewhere else or start to doing some watersports.

Hmm, that is good to know. I can't imagine me staying still for more than an hour or so

. I can only go so long anyway before I have to get in another round of DESTROYING my friends on the tubes. I can't send them cartwheeling across the water while sitting still now can I?

Still, if I get some extra time, a spare battery couldn't hurt. I just need to scrounge up some know how. Sounds like a project I may take on here in a bit
