Well I went to the delta yesterday out at Orwood and had to be jumped twice. :mad: :mad: I think the batteries are toast and being newer to the whole boat deal I was wondering if any of you out there had any suggestions on batterie types or brands or should I just run to West Marine a pick up a couple of new ones. Any help would be appreciated :) :)

Do a search on batteries, there has been enough posted in the last couple months to fill a book. Most of it has been in the audio section but some in the Sandbar section also. Good luck.

I'd go with the lightest motorcycle battery you can find.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if it might be the alternator?? I need to do some checks out on the water I guess. Thanks again

What is your running voltage?
If you suspect the batteries are bad, you can have them tested.
