Batteries
 
I currently have a marine deep cycle battery on my Yamaha 50hp. It needs replacing. I need to know if I should replace it with a similar battery or a starting battery. If I replace it with a starting battery, can I charge it with the battery charger on my boat if it gets weak?

If you use it just to start big motor then cranking battery will be fine

Yes you can charge it with a battery charger. If all you use it for is starting the motor and lights, then a starting battery will serve you better.
