I'll take a shot. Your battery is probably a group 24. It's a very common size for a starting battery. You'll want a marine starting battery which will have an 'M' designation. So what you're looking for is a 24M battery.

This is my starter battery for a 90 Merc. It'll be plenty for what you need.
Charge it after a trip and you shouldn't have to worry about running it down. An automatic charger or smart charger would be best.

Size 24M 800 CCA

Got it at Auto Value.

Remove it in the fall, store it someplace warm during winter and put it on the charger once a month to keep it in shape. I'm on year 4 with this battery.

You could probably get away with less battery (500 CCA), but without a lot of info I'd get the battery with the higher cranking amps. There's no harm in going bigger.

Maybe someone else will chime in with another option.
