Another advantage of smaller starting batteries is that they can
sometimes be located much closer to the engine, reducing wire length
and voltage drop. On my boat, when I bought it, two 8-D's were
located about 25 round trip feet from the starters. I replaced these
with two parallel, group 31 AGM's located immediately adjacent to the
engines. Needless to the say, the starters see a higher voltage!
Best,
Steve
