[QUOTE="tucker99, post: 473695, member: 22024"] Gents, I installed the battery in the front of the boat (14' Mirro-craft). I have about 16' of #4 cable going to a buss bar for the ground and a battery switch for the positive. I also have a fish finder and bilge pump on the battery switch and ground buss. The FSM calls for a 350CCA battery and I have a 675CCA starting battery. The starter starts, but labors to turn over the engine. I moved the battery back to the stern and ran off the factory 5' cable and the starter works normal, so the problem is either my rigging or the battery doesn't have enough CCA. What size battery do ya'll think I should use? I'd Like to keep to a group 24 size. Thanks Guys... [/QUOTE]
