Battery--Low
« on: June 09, 2010, 01:42:25 PM »
Hi all, well I have not been out much yet>:(. I tested my battery the other day and it was low. I had to keep charging it over the winter as it always seemed to lose its charge. The battery is on it's forth season. My question should I just change it?

Thanks!!
Bill

With a GPS/Fish Finder, radio, vhf radio, and nav lights on, how long should your batter last for without having to charger it.  For example.  i went from 13.8 v to 12 v in about 2 Hrs. sounds to me a little off.  Also, how much should it take to turn over the engine, its a 2 stroke, 150 hp salt water yahama.

The trouble with fishing is it was better before you got there, and after you left.
When in doubt...exaggerate
