Just moved from NY to Nevada, but the movers refused to take my 1988 MC TriStar boat battery that was in storage in my basemment. Equally stupid, I forgot to copy down the CCAs and other specifics from the battery before setting it next to the trash bin.

Please advise as to the appropriate battery for this boat.

Regards,
Mark

I wasn't aware they made a Tristar in 1998? :confused: The more CCA the better, if the boat is really a 89 Tristar and has the 351W if memory serves me correct 650 CCA or better is recommended.

Fork up a few xtra $ for an Optima Gel. Well worth it.

just get the biggest CCA battery that fits physically in the battery box.


550 CCA's are fine. But - the more the better! :)
