I finally found a suitable boat today, and am going to go pay for it tomorrow, and bring it home. I've been out of the boating scene for a while, and this is my first outboard.
It needs a battery for electric start and hummingbird (no TM yet). A mechanic I know said to get just a small 12 volt battery like a lawn mower would use to start the engine.
My question is this... What size (cranking amps, I guess) do I need?
What else do I need to know and/or consider?
This is a '99 2 stroke Evinrude. There is no battery in in now, we started it with a battery from another boat, so I have no idea what it has been running with.
Thanks for you help
