Boating around Mandeville
The Tchefuncte River and Bayou Castine are nearby.
The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, one of the longest bridges over water in the world, runs about 24 miles from Mandeville south to Metairie. Mandeville’s lakefront has a harbor and a long seawall walk, and nearby Madisonville sits on the Tchefuncte River, with marinas and boatyards along its banks. Sailing is popular on the lake, and yacht clubs on the north shore hold regular races. Anglers fish the causeway pilings and the lake’s marsh edges for speckled trout and redfish, especially in fall and winter. Lake Pontchartrain is broad and shallow, so a strong wind can build a short, steep chop quickly, and batteries need firm mounts. Summer heat and humidity are hard on batteries, so keep them charged and ventilated.
Choosing the right battery
Sailboats and cruisers
Many sailboat owners around the Tchefuncte River stay with AGM or flooded batteries for simplicity and cost. Whichever you choose, keep the house bank and starting battery separate, and replace all batteries in a bank at the same time.
Pontoon boats
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 Tchefuncte River.
Flats skiffs and bay boats
For a skiff or bay boat that spends the day poling and creeping along the flats near the Tchefuncte River, 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.
Seasons and storage
Keep batteries charged.
Hurricane season runs from June through November. Before a storm, charge and disconnect batteries, and if you haul out, store small lithium batteries indoors.
The northern Gulf Coast has long, hot summers and mild winters, with salt air and humidity year round. Heat is the main battery killer, so keep batteries charged and ventilated. Sealed AGM or lithium batteries are a good fit for boats that live in the water or on lifts.
