No question, a bigger battery would work. But I would think that for just starting, you really need a much smaller battery. These engines are small. Tractors using these engines have 450 CCA batteries. If they work there, they should work on the boat. I would save the weight for the house.

The more the better. The bigger battery will last longer. I am using a group 27 to start my Yanmar 4jhe44. I took out a 20 year old group 31 that was still working.
