Deep Cycle Marine Batteries
My current battery is a 24M 550CCA 690MCA. Will it hurt if I go with a larger battery with more CCA and MCA?

No there is no harm in upgrading as you described. However you should be made aware of the following:
- that M in 24M means it is primarily a starting battery not deep discharge
- find a dual duty battery that is D such as 24D or 27D, it's more of a dual duty battery than a starting battery
- if the battery label doesn't have a 20hr AH capacity rating it is not a deep cycle battery. CCA and MCA are not ratings that can be used for deep cycling ability directly, although bigger is better.
