Like I said, I have had good ones too, they just aren't worth it. Now I have twenty foot jumper cables, good soft ones. But of course they still might not reach the boat. But did you consider taking the battery out of the tow vehicle and jumping the boat? I carry jumpers and asked a guy in a new bass boat to give me a jump. He didn't know if he could, 'cause he didn't know where the battery was. Well, we found the battery and hooked up the cables. I then asked him to rev the engine up a little. He said he couldn't because the boat would start going forward. So I showed him how to take it out of gear and rev the engine. (At that point he said he should read the book!) Anyway, even with the cables connected and the engine at about 1500 rpm, mine would still not turn over. I'm tellin' ya, my battery was dead. That's D-E-A-D! -- John H All decisions are the result of binary thinking. |

And your boat has as an option a 2nd battery switch and wiring, so ask the maker where they put number 2 battery. |

Pilots and co-pilots have this little ritual of doing a preflight checklist of important things before takeoff. Maybe Mrs H would be willing to take ownership of something like that since wives seem to always take interest in "honey do" lists. |
