The 36 GB I’m buying has a 8D AGM battery at each motor and an isolate smaller Gen battery. The two 8Ds are also “house batteries .” The survey shows one of the 8D batteries needs to be replaced.
So, should I replace the single 8d and everything will be OK? Remaining 8d shows 80% life. Or, since a new 8D is $1000, is there a better plan for batteries that I should consider now? Currently we do little cruising and most time away from shore power is on an island mooring. We’re in S Cal so heat and AC isn’t much of a consideration. Thx in advance.
