Sam's Club, usually about $55 each here in FL where there are a lot of

OH, the shame of it all....If they find out at the yacht club you're usin'
Wally World batteries...oh, I shudder at the ugly image my mind just
flashed me....(c;

Make sure they're in a hidden battery box! Download the Surette logo from
some website and print out a little picture of it. Stick it on the side of
the battery box out where yachties can see it. You'll be the envy of the
whole dock!

Geez, we'll have to change them out in the middle of the night over at the
gas dock so noone see use......how awful....(c;

My dock is in back of the house so there's not much risk to the image
as if I cared anyway. Most of my neighbors are hard working people
who still love a value when they can find it.

You crack me up, Larry. But in a good way, unlike JAXAsshole, who I
assumed finally vanished up his own.

My sarcasm WAS intended to be funny. I always get sarcastic when I see
people throwing money at some common item like a lead-acid battery that
hasn't really changed in 50 years, even if you roll the plates up around
gauze soaked in acid....just because someone is better at marketing....

Good one Larry.
Know what you mean. Think I could paste a pretty logo on my orange Helly
Hanson rain gear and fit in at the club house?

I sometimes think I go out of my way to look non-nautical when I head to
the dock. I prefer Adidas to Docksiders, which I find awful uncomfortable
to stand on the deck and work all day. How in hell can anyone sail with
moccasins that have NO CUSHIONS all day?!

I do have a bright yellow waterproof nylon jacket. You can hardly see the
Old Navy logo on it. Warmest jacket I ever owned and easy to spot in the
water.
