2 things to report: The lithium starting battery I have used for the last 2 seasons has been perfect. My outboard is a 1980 35 HP tiller Johnson that only has the electric starter. Not the rectifier or stator so no charging available. I have run my fish finder and started off same 20 ah battery. Its been great.

I also had the motor mounts replaced on my outboard, and i have seen a 1.2 mph top speed improvement. I did not expect this. Motor looks more stable when I'm hauling it down the road too.

Yes but did you put the sheet ice racing blade on it yet? Lol....

Thanks for the report. New style batteries have come along way.
