Thanks for the suggestions and information everyone! Think I'll probably go the AutoZone Duralast option. Don't want to dump a lot of money in to it right now and finances are a little tight. I will however probably get a hardwired charger/maintainer for them to try and keep them in optimal condition. One question though, They are currently in battery boxes under the quarter berth with a hole drilled into the engine compartment. Is this safe for flooded batteries? Should they be relocated? If so, I have no clue where would be a good safe place with enough space for them.
