[shift95]

My boat is 2017 195 hoi ...Ok here is the question .....when i add another battery 1. what battery do you guys suggest group 27 or 31 2. xs ,Northstar ,optima. And will my boat have a enough power for the magneto to charge the battery or do i need shore power ? I am the owner of a custom car audio company but never faced something with a magneto before ... The system will be about 2500 watts .. thank you guys for all the help !!!

The rotax motor doesn't create alot of electrical power, so I would recommend an onboard charger. My setup is a group 24 and a group 27, boat had them when I bought it, I added a dualbank charger. I connected the amp directly to the 27, and usually run the selector switch set to it, and save the 24 for starting if needed. I'll replace the 27 with a 31 when needed, or a pair of 31's. My system is just the stock head unit, with a JL MX500/4 and and 4 JL MX7.7 speakers. If your going bigger I'd go with a pair of group 31's. Theres a few threads in the electronics section with some serious installs.
