    CRANKIN' BATTERY QUESTION

    I've been having a problem with my Sonar/GPS shutting off whenever I crank my big engine. I've heard this could be a sign of the battery getting weak. I'm gonna take it and get the juice checked on it tomorrow, and I'd say they're gonna tell me I need a new one. WHAT DO I GET? There's a post on here somewhere about Yammies needing a certain model number/power battery in order for everything to work right. Okay, I'm ramblin' here cause I have no idea. Any help would be appreciated!

    1000 amp battery is all you need.

    Yamaha rep told me I should run at least a group 27 for a cranking battery.
    I run a group 29.
