Batteries, Batteries, Batteries........

I can never stress this point enough........

Batteries do not last as long as they used to.

Buy a new one

It's cheap insurance,  I can not tell you how many
times I have repeated this in the marina.

Here is the short story on it.
There is no way to tell how much sulfide build up
there is on the plates of a standard liquid battery.
So even though the battery may seem to hold a charge
it may not be holding much charge.


New battery + Radio on 2hrs = Boat starts

Old battery + radio on 20 mins = Row Back




PS- This slime stuff really does work well
