Don,

Have you measured how many amps an Atomic 4 starter motor draws when the engine is being started from cold? (I'm assuming that conditions in your shop would be roughly equivalent to starting an engine in a boat in moderate summer weather.)

Bob,

The amp draw varies considerably depending on outside air temperature, compression values, etc., but we've never seen over 200 amps.
