Actually my W58 starts right up… after 2-3 seconds –
maybe 10 if I havent run it in a few weeks. No more
than that… which is why it’s still in the boat.
Well, that and the fact I don’t have the money to swap
it out.

If it is only used for starting the engine, then all
you need is a large
automobile battery. I went down to my local
discount outlet and bought the
largest automobile starter battery they have. In
truth, a lawn-mower
battery would start my Yanmar, but there’s no need
to get anything that
small. My old W-60 would need to crank for as long
as 30 seconds before
starting, so it needed a larger battery. I assume
your W-58 is similar. A
deep cycle battery isn’t usually designed to
function well as a starter
battery, so they aren’t always the best choice in
those applications.
