Which battery for the dink?
We have an 11-ft Bluewater Baby with a Suzuki DF20 4 stroke, electric start, tilt & trim. The only additional load would be a small fish finder and very occasionally running lights. Minimum specs for a battery per the manual are 330 cold cranking amps and 35 AH. So-called combination start/deep-cycle batteries are acceptable.
I’d like to keep the weight as light as possible while meeting at least the minimum specs. (The Zuke also has a pull start for emergencies so getting stranded isn’t a great worry.). If you have a similar setup, what battery type/group size do you use?
