Wirring running lights&acc. off starter batt?

[arrowhunter]

I have 2009 50hp nissian 2 stroke outboard. I am tring to wire my duck goat with some kc lights, bilge pump, nav lights and spot light. I am running to switches and fuses. Is this to much to run off of my starting batt. At most I will be running at the same time would be my kcs-nav lights early morning late evening and a spot light some. Any help please?

That depends on the capacity (amp/hr rating) of the battery. If you are limited to just one battery, then I'd make sure the starting battery is replaced with a large dual purpose (deep cycle/starting) or a big deep cycle. Deep cycles are not generally recommended for starting duty on larger boats but in your case it will work fine. When it comes to batteries, bigger is always better. You cannot go too big, only too small.
