I'll add my recommendation to Syclone's. My 3GM30F was really hard to start until I redid the starting circuit. I went from 6 AWG cable and the battery 8' from the starter, to 2/0 cable and 3' away. What a difference. Temps were recently in the high 30's and I hadn't been to the boat in over a month. She fired right up. I feel like a kid at Christmas every time I start the motor now.
