Battery is quite big. its 16amps charging on the 260. it only went flat because i've got loads running off it and was playing with it all the time. i.e Fuel pump, tabs, trim, lifter. starting and stopping

boat felt fine but only with water in the bow tank. however the tabs make it feel twice as stable now

Do you use your lifter a lot?
Do you trim the engine up or just lift it up then use the trim tabs?

It's not very big to be honest but it is truly on steroids, it has 900 cold cranking amps and one of the little fkkrs spins our Cat which is a 12.8 ltr V8 deezl

Previously to this we had some real big mothers in which were practically unliftable and not as powerful

use lifter quite a bit. drop it right down for pull aways and real rough stuff, raise it up fonce going along in calmer waters, still use trim loads and always trim in for the corners. use the tabs all the time to balance the boat. and stop it listing to one side when different people/ conditions

nope. worries me that it all relies on one M8 bolt. if it were to snap then i'm dead. i'm going to go for a side ram system. i.e marine machine, mayfair, latham.
