Hi guys.
I have been going back and forth on which battery to choose for the motor.
Its brand new, not mounted on the 1965 14' Starcraft Marlin yet.
Dealer stated that "All you need is a lawn and garden battery and it will be fine."
Ok, great, Options are:
$30 "pee wee" L&G at Sams and I'm good to go with the minimum CCA
$75 bigger , not the minimum CCA
$110 marine AGM (is no acid better option for an alum boat?)

No lights now but yes down the road.

Thanks guys.

I went with the $29.95 lawnmower battery and havn't looked back.
All is working very well.
