I've been using the Optima Blue tops on my bass boat for a long time. I've got a humongous blue top as my primary trolling battery, and a very old (but still good) smaller blue top as a second trolling battery (for 24V turbo trolling). When my boat cranking battery died a few years ago (I'd always used "regular" batterys for that one), I purchased a smaller Optima Blue top "dual purpose" deep cycle and cranking battery and it seems like it might be perfect for a 911. I might be wrong, but I always thought trolling batteries could be depleted (I know I have many times), but it was important to charge them back at the end of the day (I always have). I now keep Battery Tenders on them so I never let them discharge and sit for long periods of time.
