I guess the old adage of "if in doubt go big" is well suited to this type of application. One could always measure the voltage at the starter while cranking and see how much drop is occurring in the cable. What would be an acceptable voltage at the starter?

Will the boat float with that motor on it? Looks like a 50 would be plenty. Good luck
