Palatka waterways
The St. Johns runs past downtown, and Crescent Lake and Dunns Creek are nearby.
The St. Johns widens into a series of lakes and broad reaches near Palatka, and the city’s riverfront park has public ramps. Crescent Lake, to the southeast, is a large, shallow lake known for crappie and bass. Rodman Reservoir lies a short drive to the west. The river near Palatka is tidal even this far inland, and its current reverses with strong winds and tides. In winter, anglers fish for crappie, and the river here regularly hosts bass tournaments. Fish camps and marinas line the riverbanks north and south of town.
Typical boats around Palatka
Bass, crappie and striped bass. Bass boats and pontoons are common.
Battery types and sizes for Palatka
Bass boats
Freshwater boats around Palatka often go years on lead-acid batteries, but when it’s time to replace them, consider a 24V or 36V lithium setup. Measure your battery trays first, and check your trolling motor’s voltage. If you stay with lead-acid, choose deep-cycle batteries for the trolling motor and a true starting or dual-purpose battery for the outboard.
Pontoon boats
Most pontoons on the St. Johns River run a single 12V battery for the engine, stereo, lights and maybe a small trolling motor. That works until the music runs through a long afternoon at anchor. A dual-purpose battery, AGM or lithium, handles both cranking and accessory loads better, and a second battery on a switch keeps starting power in reserve.
Small boats and paddle craft
For paddlers and small-boat owners on Crescent Lake, lighter is better. Lithium batteries weigh less than half as much as lead-acid batteries of similar usable capacity and are rated for far more charge cycles.
Keeping batteries healthy in Florida
River current means trolling motors work harder. Size your battery accordingly.
Central Florida’s lakes are fresh water, so corrosion is less of a problem, but summer heat is just as tough on batteries. Keep them charged and stored out of direct sun.
Many inland boats are trailered and sit between trips. A maintenance charger or a lithium battery helps.
How shipping to Palatka works
- Free lithium freight: lithium batteries over $150 ship free, curbside, to the lower 48.
- Parts and chargers: free shipping when your cart subtotal is $150 or more.
- Lead-acid and AGM: free curbside truck freight to the lower 48, the same as lithium.
- Curbside means the driver brings the shipment to the end of the truck at your curb or driveway.
- Inside delivery, or hard-to-reach spots like marinas with restricted access, may cost extra, so a home or business address is usually best.
