Default Isn't battery replacement behind the engine fun?!

Check your figures.

350AmpHrs@6v X 2 = 350AmpHrs@12v...... not 700AmpHrs@12v.

Unless you put 4 of the monsters in series/parallel.

Been replacing the redneck Walmart trolling motor batteries with 350AH
6V golf cart monsters in '85 Amel Sharpi's engine room under the
center cockpit all day. A new mounting bracket for the one battery
that didn't fit will be made tomorrow at the welding shop.....

700 AH at 12V oughta run the electronic gadgets for a while, what with
the shaft alternator, wind bugger and solar panels charging it....(c;

We're slowly getting all the new gadgets installed and hooked up, now.
I had a moment so pulled in the wire to the big deck hailer to the
Icom M602 VHF beast during lunch. Everyone got a big laugh when I
tested it with:

"ATTENTION KMART SHOPPERS! WE'RE HAVING A BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL ON 'E'
DOCK. ALL SLOOPS ARE 10% OFF UNTIL 2PM! LOOK FOR THE BLUE LIGHT!"

Sounded LOUD bouncing off the bridge over at the City Marina next
door....(c;

I'm gonna wake 'em all up with the new FOG HORN!

Isn't it becoming more practical by the day to make
