[Rhodes22-list] Batteries and solar panels

[Ellner]

Hey

 The local boat show is in two weeks and the garden seed packets are in 
the store. Can ice out be far away?

I have to buy two new batteries for Toy Blew this year.  Has anyone used 
the  Optima blue (marine combination battery) gel battery?  $155 each, Whew.

I have two solar panels from GB.  Does anyone know the wattage of the 
panels and do they  have a diode?  I have used Interstate Marine 
previously and have had good luck with them. 

Thanks
Rod
