not quit a JADA moment yet-just getting ready for the season.
and no I won't come on whining if the batteries go t up--I know who to blame
Donnie--I went over the bilge and stuff yesterday so we are good--next is the trailer bearings.

Many more days like this and I might be packing some bearings too. They prolly don't need it, but I feel better doin it, not needing it, than not doing it and have one go out one day headin to the lake

Heck I'm even changing the brakes on the truck so Donnie will feel safe :D

Trying to understand why do you have to check the battery wate so often?I feel like I fish as much as the next man and very rarely have to add water.Sounds to me like some should check there chargers.Not trying to be a smarta$$ just not understanding where all yall's water is going.

Case isn't thin, but the battery weighs 99lbs each. If they get loose, and get a screw head, rock or a piece of solid debris wearing on them, it's just a matter of time before the case rubs through, especially in rough conditions. Like I said, this the first one I've had to replace, but at least MY warranty is good. Handi got a new battery, and I got a core charge back for the old one.
