Boating around Truman Lake
Truman Dam, run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, holds back the Osage River just upstream of Lake of the Ozarks. The lake’s arms follow the Osage, the Grand and the Pomme de Terre rivers, and Corps parks and marinas provide access. Much of the lake was never cleared, so standing timber is everywhere.
Water levels rise and fall a lot, and floods can raise the lake many feet above normal pool. Check the Corps of Engineers’ current lake levels before you launch, and keep a close eye on submerged timber. Summer heat is hard on batteries, so keep them charged and ventilated.
Boats and fishing in Truman Lake
Crappie and bass are the main fish, and the timber makes Truman a crappie destination. Catfish and white bass are also caught.
Battery care for Truman Lake boats
Timber and stumps mean slow, careful running, so trolling motors run for long hours. Pick deep-cycle batteries that last all day.
Ozark lakes have hot summers and cold winters, with a boating season from spring through fall. Many boats sit in covered slips over winter. Charge batteries before storage, and keep them on a maintainer or disconnect them.
Deep, clear Ozark lakes mean long days on the trolling motor for bass anglers. Lithium batteries hold steady power and save weight.
Recommended setups
Bass boats and tournament rigs
Bass boats on Truman Lake usually run a 24V or 36V trolling motor and a separate cranking battery, plus electronics that can draw several amps at the console and bow. Lithium trolling batteries hold full voltage until nearly empty, so the motor doesn’t slow down late in the day, and they save a lot of weight in the back of the boat.
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 Osage River.
Walleye and multi-species boats
Choose deep-cycle batteries for trolling and a strong cranking battery for the main engine on the Osage River.

FAQ
Does summer heat hurt marine batteries in Truman Lake?
Yes. Heat is the main thing that shortens battery life. Keep batteries ventilated and out of direct sun, keep them charged, and choose sealed AGM or lithium if the battery compartment gets hot. Most lithium batteries have a battery management system that stops charging when the cells are too hot.
Can you ship to my marina?
We can ship to most addresses, but marinas with restricted access or no way to receive freight may cost extra or need special arrangements. A home or business address is usually easiest. Contact us before you order if you want to ship to a marina.
How do lead-acid batteries ship?
Lead-acid and AGM batteries ship free by curbside truck freight to the lower 48, the same as lithium.
Who schedules the delivery?
The freight carrier calls the delivery phone number you enter at checkout to set up a delivery window. Someone needs to be there to inspect the shipment and sign.
