Is anyone running this set up? I am wanting to upgrade my starting battery to a Cabelas AGM group 30 (like my TM batteries) but I seem to remember hearing that the EFIs dont like the AGMs for some reason. Something about shorting out the control box or something like that. Makes no sense to me because I thought the voltages would be the same with whatever 12v battery you would use. But I figure I would at least ask the question before I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this. Dont want any problems if I can avoid it. Thanks.God Bless, Stephen

I run the same Boat/Motor combo as you and have always run an AGM cranking battery since new. Been very pleased with the performance. No troubles here. Chris Coupel Paulina, La.Chris CoupelPaulina, La.

No issues on AGM batteries. Just get a good one and plenty of amperage.
