I am looking for the lightest battery for cranking my 40 hp, run t & t, bilges, jackplate, livewell.
Got any ideas?

Odyssey PC625 weights 13lbs. cranks my 60horse and runs my livewell and aerator pump, GPS.

EDIT:
That thing is only 70 bucks- that is a deal for something that light!

I'll take the extra 40 lbs from the Voyager and have the power to crank a flooded motor and I have trolled for 8 hours strait and then cranked my motor "it also runs the GPS and depth finder"

I do have a regular deep cycle bat. for the trolling motor up in the front compartment, but for cranking and running pumps the Odyseey has been tip top. Now would I want to use that odyseey 625 on a 115 or larger engine. No!

Barhopr didn't you say ur boat came with that battery? And it's working fine for you. I'll be ordering one over the weekend if possible, gotta lighten my rear!
I also will have a trolling motor battery located up front.
