"I know this issue has been discussed already but I am still unclear about the best type of batteries for my 1989 Maxum 2300 with 5.0 sterndrive. I have always used two batteries with a perko selector switch but need to replace them for this coming season. Should I go with two new "cranking" batteries or do I need the "dual purpose" batteries that West Marine sells? I do not require heavy electrical loads when the engine is off, I only use VHF, GPS, and occasionally the CD player (no baitwell, trolling motor". I plan to connect these batteries in parallel to increase amperage. Thanks"
