I run a Mercury 115 4 stroke on a 1750 Fishhawk. Have 2 depthfinder/gps's and the usual gadgets hooked up under the console that run to this battery. No accessory switch to power the gps's; hooked direct to the main box. I have a brand new Interstate 24 with 525 CCA's. I think its a bit small and want to upgrade to their 24 with 800 CCA's. Wondering what you guys are using for a cranking battery size and output with this set-up or similar?

Thanks!
