Is there anything out there that will allow you to mount a cigarette type adapter to a standard non-starting type battery? --Just in case I want to use something like a plug-in type spotlight so I can find shore or look for stumps at night. Or even for a cell phone (not for use on the lake, but just in an emergency when say.......my engine doesn't start and I'm a few miles out) :confused: <br /><br />Thanks.

Just make sure you fuse it... you should never hook anything to your battery that isn't fused for safety sake.

I would get a marine one, they are better quality and will not rust. They cost about twice as much but it not that much.
