Does anyone have pictures of the interior of one of these boats? I really hate the navy blue carpet and want some ideas of color choice

I'm having issues with the search feature. I remember finding something about a stencil for the hull graphics. But can't find it now. Am I losing my mind?

Yea being in the automotive trade makes you do things a little different because you see the worst of it. I put plugs in a 4 year old harley I got because it had 15 miles on it just because of lot rot and the dealership though I was crazy

A good practice is to clean the top of the battery before storage. Dirt & grease can provide a current path, however small.

I have the noco battery tenders. They seem to work well for my motorcycle and trailer. I have had really bad luck just leaving the battery's in anything. I always take them out and put them on my box and keep them on a tender type sytem

Ain't nuthin' wrong with a Group 48.
CC listed it as a recommended battery in some of their models in later years There must be at least a half dozen batteries that fit, some tighter than others, and have sufficient capacity, but the Group 65 seems to be a CCF favorite

Keith, Careful, a trickle charger rather than a maintainer will damage a battery if left on for long periods of time. Also, I have to ask why any charger. For 50 years, my batteries stay all winter in the boats disconnected with no charaging Come spring they are connected back up and I crank the engine. I know many others who do the same.

So Krash...............Since you got the battery, was it a Group 65 and did it fit right?
That way when the next guy searches for "79 Ski Nautique battery" he'll have an easy time finding his answer

Last night was a bitter sweet night. Ingot I got the boat a week ago.. made sure everything was in working order. Got the new battery and ran it with a fake lake. Order -100f coolant at work at winterized the engine. Cleaned the interior and polished the deck. Going to shrink wrap the top of the boat this weekend for winter. Woke up today to 15f weather. Don't get to use it until late may here. I guess it's a great time to redo the paint🌞

I work as an automotive tech and have a big interstate battery selection. When I got to work I remembered about it. Was just hoping someone knew of hand what it was so I didn't have to measure when I got home🤣

Try a Group 65 battery.
It's 12 1/16 long by 7 1/2 wide by 7 9/16 tall. You can measure your battery box and then you'll know A Group 24 fits in the hole but might be a little tall Here's a handy battery size chart in the link. With a ruler and the chart you'll be all set. |

I have two plungers / fake lakes in my garage, since installing the Timmy T I never touch the plungers. I put a hose on//off connector on the end of my hose so I can take it in the boat fully pressurized. Hook it up to my TimmyT and turn on the water while in the boat and start it. Makes everything really simple and fast. At the same Home Depot you can find the simple hose valve, mine is made of brass with a thumb lever to open and close the hose.
Great looking old Nautique by the way. I had a 78 and put 1,500 hours on that boat. I still miss those flip out windshield vents, they sure were used on all of our 100* ski days. None of the newer boats have that option anymore. Wow, $500. I sold my 78 in 1990 for $7,500 and they still seem to hold that value today if in good shape.

I have always used the plunger that's why I was curious. My lake is on an Indian reservation that is opening next week after a long shutdown for covid. So I'm gonna get things ready for one trip out before winterizing the thing for winter
