T&T: Battery recomendation

[Peter Bennett]

I used a Group 27 to start my 4 cylinder Lehman - it was more than
ample.

I think that the primary difference between an automotive startgin
battery and a marine starting battery is the type of terminal, so
either should do, as long as you have the appropriate terminals on
your cables.
