[QUOTE="LaqueRatt, post: 508350, member: 32586"] Can't really judge the condition of your battery without a load tester. IMO anybody who messes with engines and batteries should have one laying around. You can score a cheapy at Harbor Freight for around twenty bucks. I paid just a little more for my Schumacher. Or just put in a diff battery that you know is good. If not bad connections, it's pretty likely the battery just isn't up to the task. Keep in mind that a trolling battery may well crank your boat, but that's not what they're designed for. [/QUOTE]
