Thanks for the feedback-   Picked up a 12v 7 a/h AGM and a battery tender plus for power last night.   Hope to get this rigged and mebbe run to the port over the weekend for a shakedown cruise.
if it swims, fish it.

I've have a water bath system in one of my kayaks.  I used close cell foam and gooped it.  To make sure there's no water leaks, I put electrical putty around the foam .

Here's a great video:

How much for the battery? I've been waiting to rig my Thresher with a battery until I get a look at the new Wilderness lithium batteries. I think it'll be out in another week. 15 ah with USB ports.

Think I got it for just 40 bucks at batteries and bulbs.

The lithium battery is more expensive, but in the long run they work out to be cheaper, lighter and stronger.

I just ordered my battery. Hope to see it in a week or so.
