At least an 860 cca battery wouldd be good. THOM : 1999 Outrage 18, 2012 E-TEC 150, 2012 EZ Loader trailer

However, you can't keep me down on a good day and I was determine to go so I switched out my battery on the winch and headed out. Good thing because I caught a 3' dolphin and ten schoolies. It was a good day. Thanks for your help, Key-z
