SmartShunt 500A for 2x 680 CCA batteries powering Suzuki 2 x 300?

Hello

I’m planning to install a 500A SmartShunt on a startup battery bank of 2x680 CCA (110 Ah, 12v) batteries used to start 2 x Suzuki 300hp outboard engines .

I have no precise idea of how much current is drawn from the batteries at engines startup (that’s the max current) and I’m wondering if the 500A SmartShunt is appropriate or undersized.

Any insights appreciated.

Many thanks

SmartShunt
