    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
