When we purchased our boat it had (3) Optima blue top batteries in a separate bank for the bow thruster. Shortly after, one of the batteries died, and now a second one is gone. The thruster is basically useless with a single tired Optima, proven by a bad situation last week trying to leave the slip in high winds.
The boat also came with an almost new 8d starting battery, which is overkill. I can move the 8d up to the bow for the thruster and buy a cheap starting battery for the generator, which would be my cheapest fix. Any reason I don’t want to use the 8d for this?
