My Beta 14 (Kubota) engine recommends 350-400 CCA for starting. To me, that's what I consider a lawnmower battery, no need for the weight of a group 24. Boat is 27', displaces 5100, every ounce matters. I myself might forgo a starting battery altogether and just use the house bank, but the wife would probably not like it.
Any reason a small "lawn and garden" battery could not be wired from the charge bus and through a VSR just like a group 24 might be? Fused at the bus and at the battery?
