[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 488655, member: 15636"] [i]You probably won't like the weight[/i], but I'd recommend a G4-sized 'dual purpose' battery that has CCAs to crank, but can draw down like a deep cycle. That's what I use on my 14' with similar devices and an 18hp OB engine. Maybe there's a lighter one outh thar' somewhere, but I buy the batteries from Walmart as they are made by Johnson Controls (they also own Optima gel series batts) and have a 'born on' date on them. I routinely get 5+ years out of them, but replace them @ 5-years anyway (in the boats); keeping the old ones as backups to a sump pump at the house. [/QUOTE]
