HELP Outboard Battery

I would think any decent sized battery will be fine. Its more of a question of what size the battery box is. Have her get the Group number of the old battery for you, or at least some basic dimensions.

Reading a model number off the battery or using a tape measure is beyond her skill set? Oh brother!

Battery shapes and sizes can vary wildly- that box is probably meant to accomodate a certain group #.

If youre flying completely blind, then err on the small/cheap side... and keep the receipt! The safest bet would probably be the smaller of the marine battery options available at an autoparts store... though probably not the cheapest option.

Will to her credit, she is actually a bit over-whelmed caring for my Father-in-law who recently had a stroke. I am just trying to ease the burden on the things I can help with.

I have a general idea on size, but again good advice, smaller is better. Plan is to pick something at local farm store down here, as opposed to driving back and fourth the 45 minutes, once I get up there.

Kevin, 24 is what we'll try. the number 650 seems stuck in my head for some reason, you think that would be enough? Those old V-4 really didn't have that much compression, so it should turn pretty easy.

Looks like a series 24 would fit.
