You just gotta love it or it will kill ya !

Back on the purple 93.   Replaced the raw water pump that the previous dingaling broke the bolt housing on. dropped it in the lake and hit the starter and got the wha,wha,wha, and then the starter got stuck for a few seconds, stopped then fired up with ease.   I knew before I looked in the box that I had either a shot out battery or a deep cycle.
I got best of the both, a shot out deep cycle.   For some reason I didn't really look that hard at the battery when I first got it a few months ago.    But just as it started ,,,, yep the HOLLY Gas Leak.
Except for this time it leaked at the little plug thing. I have no idea what its called. its just above the gas line coming in the bowl. I knew it was a pressed on deal. so i gave it a few little taps and low and behold it stopped leaking.   
   My wife is like holy crap how do you not mentally explode with all that happening at one time ?    I guess after awhile you know what to expect from a inboard.   Its pretty much like a old ford car/truck. Just keep a good tool box on board a few spare parts and leave the tow rope on the dock And support your local marina thats been there since the lake filled up.   Just happened to need a 1' long piece of 3/4" hose that of course he had way up on the top shelf.
Now who's making the latest greatest boat batteries these days ? Cause I need to spend another 100 bucks....

get a good car quest battery thay will stand behind it if thair is a problem. jeff

    How Many Days ???????

Whats funny to me is to see someone at the dock with no tools. Whats even funnier is when I've got all the tools you could possibly need but the one you actually need....     

I've got a friend that owns central Ga Battery .   He's usually on the road but I caught him at the store this morning. I usually have to deal with guys that just know the numbers and size of batterys but can't tell you much more than that.

His guys had pulled out a good battery for me but once I started talking to him , he pulled out the correct battery. It was short and fit in the battery box so you could close the lid, had 800+ cca, and had the side bolton or top post to mount the cables to.   

Next time i'm in there and can catch him I'll get him to show me the insides of both a marine and reg car battery.   Didn't have time to go through all that today.   Visually from the outside their pretty much the same case. I guess its all how its set up on the inside as to what group it gets built for.
