    ... also how old is the water pump impeller?

    You might find your best PTP does not need to be as high as 3". Many boats like yours run great at 3.5"-4.25" PTP. Mine does.

    I run a commercial batt from Interstate I think it is made by Clarios. I have a Merc 1504S, two Carbons and it is a great batt for my setup. I recommend and would/will buy it again.
