How small would be good enough.

[jusfloatin]

Good day to all

I will be running twin 58 Evinrude 35hp electric start/choke motors on a boat which quite cappable of doing.
The problem with running twins is everthing has to be twins.

I am trying to eliminate as much unneeded weight as possible and thought about the batteries.
The only electrics that will be used is a fish finder and what the motors need to start. The motors will be rebuilt motors so hopefuly they will light when called upon with little turnovers. That is the plan LOL

I thought of two real small batteries and a Perko switch which I could switch to both batteries to start but I have two charging systems and I do not know electrics enough so here I am.

Any idea's?

Get a couple of Optima D34M Blue Tops, a battery isolator and a Ctek 7200 to maintain them correctly. Or one Optima and a switch if you don't mind the exercise.

Ayuh,... Are you Sure of that,..??

Most old outboards had No charging system, 'n those that did were terribly anemic...
