[QUOTE="gogittum, post: 488666, member: 27114"] Not sure about going 2 or 3 days without charging / running the engine....seems a little unrealistic to me. Surely you can plug in the charger at night ?? [img][/img][ATTACH type="full" alt="0N0171.JPG"]111126._xfImport[/ATTACH] For mine, in the interest of light weight, I looked at my 60 hp Suzuki V-Strom 650 motorcycle which called for and had space for a 10 amp/hour battery. Surely that would work with my 25 hp Johnson outboard.....?? At first my cables were too long, even tho' a heavy gauge, so re-mounted the battery behind the rear seat and shortened the cables to 3 ft. Works like a charm. I had some carburetion issues with the motor and that little battery started the motor at least 15 times in a row on a couple of different days.....and it really spun it. Not draggy, even a little bit. It also runs my chart plotter and 2 bilge pumps. [/QUOTE]
