Hello all. I’ve got a 2017 fsh deluxe. The starter battery is not holding a charge any more. Any suggestions on what to replace it with? Send me links to batteries that are good.

Thanks
Matt
 
A lot of jet boaters go with a the AGM's or the Deep Cycle batteries. I will go with the AGM from Academy Sports when that time comes for me. Hope this helps...
 
AGM I put in when it was new dealer gave me $50 credit for the boat battery it came with.
The battery you have should be under warranty and you may get a new one for free. Special order to get group 27 AGM from Sam's club.
Free is better than AGM. Absorbed glass mat "AGM" maintenance free last well in storage with little discharge, can charge very fast compared to regular battery, and can deep cycle well. They stand up to vibration very well the plates are under compression.
