    '92 150hp single or dual batteries and a trim question.

    What should be on this thing 1 battery or 2? The previous owner added a second battery because (I think) the starter was begining to go. I'm going to rebuild the starter because a new one is $275. Shouldn't a single battery be enough to crank the engine over? Engine runs like a dream when I...
