Well durn

[RUGER]

Charged my craking battery yesterday while I slept and worked.
Took it off the charger yesterday afternoon.
Only reading 9 volts.
Still wouldn't crank the motor (wouldn't do anything) so I guess it is toast.

Asked MAN where my trolling motor battery was. I bought it brand new last year and never really used it.
I thought we had used it duck hunting.
No, that is the one I carried to Guntersville this spring and someone stole it, remember. :bash: :bash: :bash:

So now, in order to fish tomorrow afternoon I have to :

Acquire TWO new batteries.
Finish changing the ends on the power cord to new depth finder and attach to acquired battery.
Finish running wires and mounting old depth finder in rear of boat.
Replace the panels that I pulled off to get the old depth finder off.
Re-spool at LEAST one reel so I will have something to fish with.

I might can pull that off today... maybe.

Working on Saturday sure does mess with my fishing.

Did you check the water level in the battery?

If the price agrees with your budget pick up some agm style batteries bigger than what you need. The less you discharge a battery the longer they will last. AGM's can pay for the self over time.

better to find out problems off the water than on the water.
