Thank you I have ordered those battery trays that you sent, now to patch 4 more holes and redrill down the new battery box.
Anyone have any luck in using the cap on the locktite marine epoxy?
My battery 36v 60ah is made to be a standard size 31. It also weights 34lb. That battery box still not good? It has 4 attachment pints to the floor with size 8 screws I bedded in 4200.
Keep in mind I also need to take the battery off and on the boat to charge so some sort of buckle would be...
You have a battery tray you would recommend? I am all for making it best in practice.
I went to the boat today and countersink all the screw holes and laid in loctite marine epoxy with packing tape over to get it flat. For the holes for the existing battery box I bedded screws in 4200.
It’s fits better on the new battery I did try to move the battery and no play. New battery is only 34lb those old lead acids 55lb a piece

In order to do this I had to removed and reposition my battery box.
none of the...
Every 3 years the shop paints my boat. I use a hard paint that has high copper and it’s a multi season.
At the end of every season I run a power washer over the boat to get rid of some of the grime.
I am on season 3.
Last year I painted my tabs with Pettit eco hrt over what as there. I made...
I bought this from fisher it was $1600 but has a 10 year warranty. I shrink wrap my boat the first year and it was $400. 4 years break even and not relying on shrink wrapper
Not to sound stupid but I always trip the breaker when motor is in storage. Isn’t that the same as an on/off switch. Also it is recommended to charge with the breaker tripped
I close the sea cock, then where the water comes out in tbe livewell you undo the attachment and can thread a hose on there. Hose needs to be 3/4 an inch.
I put a hose on the wash down and then I turn on the wash down, dump antifreeze down the hose attached with a funnel to my livewell. The...
