Good mornin', Tim.

I'm off to get my boat. Sandy and I are going up to the Georgetown
Starbucks for
a cup of coffee.

Have a spectacular day!

Have fun, John.!

Well, this is what I get for a fast decision to go boating. Usually I
pick the
boat up the night before and check the battery, etc. Today I just
hooked up the
boat, drove to the ramp north of the airport, launched the boat, and
hit the
starter.....nothing. ****!!!

So, I'm back home, battery is on the charger, and we're waiting for it
to get
charged. Hell, even the hot shot didn't have enough juice to crank the
engine.

Oh well, live and learn - not to take shortcuts.

I have had a few of those hot shot things, cheap and expensive, none of
which has ever started anything for me...

This wasn't a cheap one, that's for sure. I should have plugged it in
last
night. But, the gauge said it was 'ready'. Maybe it was ready for a
battery at
75%, but not mine!

Can you find a spot for a second battery? I am under the impression you
have only one.

I have very little room under the CC. Here's my boat:

http://www.keywestboatsinc.com/boats/show/id/6

Not the biggest thing in the world. Besides, it was my fault for not turning
the
switch off. Hell, I could've had two dead batteries!

Run the switch on one battery and use a combiner to charge the 2nd battery.
And your boat has as an option a 2nd battery switch and wiring, so ask the
maker where they put number 2 battery.

My rig is aluminum, not the keywest. That is John's. Mine looks like this
but maroon.
