Re: Force '88 85 HP battery cable
Not 100% sure about the size. In my set up, both batteries are the same size/rating. Different brand but everything else is the same. I think as long as they are "in the ball park" as far as size/rating, you should be OK. It's important to be sure that they are the correct type of batteries (automotive/marine maintenance free, standard type automotive or marine deep cycle). Some gell cell or AGM type batteries are not compatible with the Force charging systems. The factory charging system on the 1988 85HP motor is not regulated, so charging voltage can go as high as 16.5 volts.
