Yes, a deep cycle will start your Yanmar, but you are reducing the
life of the battery by doing so.

Not by enough that you would even notice it. A recreational boat
starts so seldom and a load of 80A isn't enough to do any harm.


Right, I agree. But, being in the MD area, I've got to consider
sometimes starting in cold weather and cranking more than usual.
