Are you happy with it ?

I have a West Marine starting 650A, 12V, it may be on its way out.
Would it be OK to get a larger (i.e. Duracell 800 amps) or would that damage the electronics ?

Your starter will draw only what it needs. Those extra cranking amps won’t be force fed into your electronics, the new battery simply has more capacity to deliver more amps if demanded.
