Thanks sea bob. So many different batteries these days not sure what was best
I have two of these on board.http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/st ... sNum=50544Ridiculously priced now but....One is 9 years (2002) the other not quite 5 (2007). In those days they ran about $180 (group 27).I'd say I got my money's worth. Still crankin' my 91 200, after service on the old CCP. Replaced them both in 2002 and had one fail in 07.I'm not close to livin' in the real world. Haven't for years.Good luck.
John,The two key points made so eloquently here are....1. Get a battery you are comfortable with price wise, mounting position and charge-ability. Mount it where it won't get beat all to hell, is easy to access for maintenance (if required) keep the connections clean, tight and properly sized (for minimum voltage drop) and above all, charge it correctly (and keep it charged) based on type.2. That "what battery to use" threads are like any other opinion threads (think oil or gas additives).Everyone's got one.
