Jim,
If I get an aerator thats 12v would you recommend just getting a stand alone inexpensive car battery??

Dakota,

Car batteries are not rechargeable in the fishing sense. You need a deep cycle (trolling motor) battery. If you already have a livewell on the boat you can just tap into that.

I have an independent starting and trolling motor battery set up on my boat so this is just another accessory on the trolling motor battery. That way I cant run down the starting battery by mistake and end up stranded.

I am starting another post with the livewell pics.

As long as we don't let him fish out of the front (inside joke)
