3 years is a pretty good run for boat batteries.

Really??? No wonder your jigs wrap themselves around trees. :Doh:

Hope it all works out do not forget the load test.:biggrin

Hope it just a loose wire Beagle , I had to buy two this spring !

Battery prices have almost gone out of sight.
I hate to say it...... But 3 years is average life for a set of boat batteries. I put a set in my Champion every 3 years like clockwork.

UNLESS, you buy those really expensive batteries. I won't.

Amen! Last time I got 3 batteries from Springfield Marine Repair for $400.00! This Spring it was $400.00 just for my 2 trolling motor batteries. And I haven't priced the starting battery yet because up to now I haven't needed it but I will before fall.
