Hi All,

My boat came with a crank battery as the starter battery and it died this winter and wont charge.

I replaced it with a deep cycle battery and it works fine. Is that ok or for the starter battery should I go buy another crank battery? Am I risking it not starting at some point?

Thanks,
Matt
