I have a 2012 2275 GCW with dual batteries that I need to replace. I am new to boating and don’t know very much so any help would be much appreciated

Interstate in my opinion is the only way to go. I use it not only in my Bennington but in my bass boat for cranking and trolling motor as well. Fantastic batteries!I have a 2012 2275 GCW with dual batteries that I need to replace. I am new to boating and don’t know very much so any help would be much appreciated

Dealer said this updated Deka battery (Intimidator) is what is recommended now by Mercury for their Verado Pro motors with the super chargers on them. I just had to replace both my original batteries, so I dropped these in. This is what they recommended for my 200HP Mercury Verado Pro. Dealer said I should see better performance/battery life than what came originally with the boat in 2017. We’ll See.I like the Deka Line of marine batteries since the warranty is pretty straight forward. I like the felt type add-on battery terminal corrosion protectors and I hate changing out batteries. So I go for quality and I don't try to save a few dollars on cheap batteries.
Vikingstaff, what did you have for the originals?Dealer said this updated Deka battery (Intimidator) is what is recommended now by Mercury for their Verado Pro motors with the super chargers on them.

It was an older version of deka battery, maybe some version of the Intimidator. However, these new ones (or specific version of this one) has a lot more CA, and apparently other upgraded features.Vikingstaff, what did you have for the originals?
