I can’t recall off hand what size the battery i b. It was already in the boat when I bought it from my grandpa last March, and needed to be replaced back then but I kept pushing it off as it was working just fine. I initially planned on replacing the battery during the re-wire but didn’t get to it. I’ll upgrade to a bigger battery and go AGM, I don’t like having to keep up with checking the water in a wet cell battery.

“I’ve got a lot of extra/spare parts I keep for this purpose and it all takes up enough space in my house/garage that I literally write off the square footage in my taxes.

So be careful going down that rabbit hole. I don’t have a wife telling me what I can/can’t have, either. LOL”

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission right lol.

And yes, I’m offshore and can’t get to my boat.

First thing I’ll do when I get home is upgrade that battery and see where that gets me. It needs to be done regardless so if it fixes the problem then that’s great too.
