Boating around St. Augustine
The St. Augustine Inlet, just north of Anastasia Island, connects the Matanzas River and the Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic. The St. Augustine Municipal Marina and its mooring fields sit right downtown, and Salt Run, behind Anastasia Island, is a protected anchorage. To the south, the Matanzas River leads to Matanzas Inlet and the fort there.
Batteries that fit St. Augustine boats
Offshore center consoles
Offshore boats depend on their batteries more than any other boat on the Matanzas River: radar, sonar, chartplotters, livewells and VHF all draw power while drifting over a ledge. Size your house battery for a full day of electronics with the engines off, and keep it isolated from the cranking batteries with a switch or combiner. A multi-bank onboard charger keeps every battery topped up at the dock.
Bay boats, skiffs and shallow-water rigs
In St. Augustine, a typical inshore setup is a cranking battery for the outboard, two or three deep-cycle batteries for a 24V or 36V trolling motor, and an onboard charger to bring them all back overnight. Lithium is the popular upgrade because it holds full thrust until it is nearly empty and recharges quickly, but a good AGM deep-cycle battery is still a solid, lower-cost choice.
Sailboats and cruising boats
Sailboats and cruisers in St. Augustine rely on a house bank for lights, refrigeration, instruments and an autopilot, plus a starting battery for the auxiliary engine. A bank of 6V golf-cart batteries wired in series is a traditional choice; lithium banks like the EPOCH 12V 300Ah or Battle Born 100Ah give more usable capacity and recharge faster from solar or the engine.
Typical boats around St. Augustine
Inshore anglers fish the marsh creeks and oyster bars for redfish, trout and flounder, and the inlet for sheepshead and black drum. Offshore boats run for snapper, grouper and king mackerel. The mooring fields are full of cruising sailboats making their way up and down the Intracoastal.
Seasons and storage
Cruising sailboats on a mooring run on solar and short engine charges. Lithium house banks accept charge faster, which helps when engine time is limited.
The St. Johns River and the Intracoastal mix fresh and salt water. Salt still finds its way into battery compartments, so rinse and coat terminals.
Northeast Florida has warm summers and mild winters, with occasional cold snaps. Boats are used year round, but some owners slow down in January and February. If yours sits, keep the battery charged with a maintenance charger or disconnect it.
