I need the correct cold cranking amps. My boat seems to be lagging when the starter is engaged. Replies: Posted By: Orlando76 Date Posted: June-22-2014 at 9:29pm Idk correct cca but I wouldn't go any less than 750. I believe the correct size is a group 65 but not certain bc I use a 24. Double check battery terminals and the terms at starter and solenoid as well. Often times batteries are blamed for what turns out to be a weak solenoid. Posted By: CrazyCanuck Date Posted: June-23-2014 at 3:57am Group 65. My 78 takes that. Got mine at Wal Mart. Works great. If by lagging you mean its turning over slow, maybe check the engine ground strap, and the other wires on the starter circuit. Could also be a worn starter. Happened to my van. Slow slow turnover even with a new batt. New starter fixed it. ------------- https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRtW3vJrMHLdqBzndt9VX3oOpBuRopGlzKq9Ea7pAO7wnTuoD8E8g Posted By: racingnc Date Posted: June-23-2014 at 8:00am Had starter rebuilt last fall and till had the same slow crank in comparison to other boats close in years and motor size. Yesterday it didn't fire after cranking it for about 20 to 30 seconds. Then the battery started going down as I had to crank it longer to finally start it. I know I have a carb issue as well.
