I don't understand this debate? It sounds like some of you are wanting to risk being stranded or risk damage to your expensive outboard engine over a few dollars. I'm not suggesting wasting money by buying the biggest most expensive one known to mankind. However why not error on the safe side, I run a Yamaha 250SHO according to the manual 512cca is minimum with 180rc, says right in "engine cannot be started if battery voltage is to low" . I run an interstate 31AGM7, its a 810cca battery with 190rc, why because it's the biggest interstate they make and I can fit in its space, I also run 4graphs, fish tournaments, fish in Canada and don't want to be stranded due to a low/weak battery. I also have a jumper switch wired in incase that's not enough. (have had to use it) Best bet buy one that fits in your boat and you can afford it and preferably big, at least more than outboard minimum. Just my 32¢ worth.
