Hey CF, Delco makes a marine starting battery but I don't remember the model number. I use the Voyagers too for my TM. Wouldn't have anything else.
Looking for a good starter battery. Does Delco Voyager make a good starter? I have some Delco Voyagers for trolling motor batteries and they last almost forever for me. they are deep cycle though and the boat I will be putting this in has a 350 chevy with volvo outdrive IB/OB. I've read that deep cycles are a bad Idea for a starter battery but has anybody here tried it? Thanks. CF

I just use those walmart batteries with an on board charger, and had no trouble, and I use my boat summer and winter.

Delcos are good... No maintenance. I've been using a Trojan group 27 dual purpose for my starting battery. Supposed to last longer than an ordinary starting battery as the drain from electronics, pumps, lights, etc. will cause the battery to discharge partially. Dual purpose batteries can be recharged more often before they give up the ghost. Run a search for Trojan batteries. Their website will give you a dealer near you. Cost is about the same as the Delcos.
