[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 511975, member: 7021"] A couple of things.... You need to use a wet cell lead acid starting battery. It is recommended by most/all outboard manufacturers. I called Mercury customer service (and my local dealer) a few weeks ago and was told the same by both. My dad is preparing to hang the same new Suzuki 20hp on his Crestliner 14 Sportsman SC. He will keep a group 24 wet starting battery at stern so as not to lengthen cables, etc. It's a SC and he already has a group 27 DC at bow for TM, along with an anchor, tackle, and storage...all at bow. He believes that with bow weight, and having a SC, there is not a need to move starting batt to console. Just something to consider. [/QUOTE]
