I'm trying to make a little more room in the inflatable and would like to downsize the starting battery. I currently use an identical battery to the one I use to start my Onan 7.5MDJE. It's 900 miles away and I can't remember if it's a 24, 27 or larger. The motor is an 18hp Tohatsu w/elec. start. The manual calls for a group 24 which seems like overkill. I was wondering why one couldn't use a motorcycle battery or one like the one in my home gas genset. I'm looking at ones that have between 240-275 CCA. What do you all use and any other thoughts?
