Okay, I've had my first boat for a little while now. 85HP outboard
Chrysler. Came with a car 12v battery for starting, etc, but the
battery is crap as it is getting old and not holding charge for long
anymore.. Do you folks recommend a car 12v battery in a boat or is
there something more preferred? It is used for starting, running a
fish finder, and a small car stereo occasionally.

Thanks


If you have just one battery get a marine deep cycle battery rather than a
starting battery.
