Marine Batteries Shipped to Murrells Inlet, SC
Murrells Inlet calls itself the Seafood Capital of South Carolina, with a marsh walk lined with restaurants and a busy inlet to the Atlantic just south of Myrtle Beach.
Boaters in Murrells Inlet order from us online and we ship to them. Every lithium battery over $150 and every lead-acid or AGM battery ships free by curbside freight anywhere in the lower 48 states, and parts and chargers ship free on orders of $150 or more.
Boating around Murrells Inlet
The inlet is protected by jetties and connects the marsh creeks to the ocean. Garden City Beach lies to the north, and Huntington Beach State Park to the south. The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the Waccamaw River run inland.
Charter and head boats run out of Murrells Inlet every day in season, and private boats run the inlet to nearshore reefs. The marsh is calm and protected, so pontoons and kayaks are popular for sightseeing. Summer heat is intense, so batteries in dark compartments should be checked often.
Fishing near Murrells Inlet
Flounder, redfish and trout in the marsh, and offshore fishing for king mackerel, snapper and grouper.
Recommended setups
Bay boats, skiffs and shallow-water rigs
For a skiff or bay boat that spends the day poling and creeping along the flats near the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, trolling motor capacity is the number that matters. Measure your current batteries (group size, voltage and how many) before you order. If you stay with lead-acid, Group 31 deep-cycle batteries give the most runtime per battery; if you move to lithium, one 36V battery wired for your motor makes the system simpler and lighter.
Twin-engine and offshore boats
Center consoles that run offshore from Murrells Inlet usually have one cranking battery per engine plus a house battery for electronics, pumps and lights. For cranking, a Group 27 or 31 AGM with high marine cranking amps is the common choice. A lithium dual-purpose battery like the EPOCH 172Ah can serve as a house battery and an emergency start, and it weighs a fraction of an equivalent AGM.
Pontoons and tritoons
A pontoon spends more time idling and anchored than running, so the engine has little chance to recharge the battery. Plugging in a charger after every trip, or switching to lithium with its faster charge acceptance, keeps a pontoon ready for the next evening cruise around the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.
Battery care for Murrells Inlet boats
Marsh creeks drain at low tide, so plan your trips and battery capacity for the tide.
Salt marsh creeks and inlets are tough on boats. Secure batteries well for rough inlet runs, and rinse terminals after salt trips.
The Southeast Atlantic coast has hot summers and mild winters. Most boats stay in use year round, but some owners lay up for a few months in winter. Keep batteries charged and terminals clean.
