I have a leftover brand new Deka 24m7 battery at the shop, would it fit into the 80 battery box?
thanks ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2095" rel="nofollow - 1980 Ski Nautique Commander 351W |

Step 1. Measure Battery in question
Step 2. Measure Battery box in question Step 3. Compare dimensions Or, you could always just post up an obscure battery brand and model on CCF and hope someone is willing to do the research for you on how big the battery is thats sitting on your shelf... 
A group 65 battery is pretty snug in all directions. I would suggest using that as a baseline. http://www.rtpnet.org/teaa/bcigroup.html - Battery Group size dimensions ------------- |

Tim,
That's a great size chart however using it will require a metric conversion since I'd say Luc doesn't have a inch tape measure!  However, I do agree that measuring the actual battery and the box is a great idea.
BTW, I think the 24 will be too tall. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete, last I checked, millimeters were metric!
There seem to be a few different types of Group 24's- your guess is as good as mine as to which one the Deka belongs in- or if its something else altogether. There is no 24M in the chart... only F, H, R and T. I do agree that all of the 24's appear to be too tall though. Luch, hopefully that "M" doesnt denote it as a marine/deep cycle battery. If its not too much trouble, you may want to check!  ------------- |

Guys, why do I need to explain that I was at work, did not have the boat at hand to measure and wont have it for some days?
I just wanted to save me from carrying the battery around. Pete, No problem converting the chart, I also think it might be too tall. Now if Tim has enough time and drive space to memorize all that unuseful propeller tests he and other have performed why cant he remember the measures on the battery boxes of all CCs models through the years? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2095" rel="nofollow - 1980 Ski Nautique Commander 351W |

Luch, I apologize if the prop tests Ive run were not helpful to you. I also apologize for not trying every battery group size on the market to see if they fit in the Correct Craft box. Once I found what fit, I stopped searching.  I did share that piece of info, though (see above)!------------- |

so you played smart with me, and I did it with you, is anyone any smarter now?
thanks for the chart, but I can measure the battery at the shop, not the box on the boat! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2095" rel="nofollow - 1980 Ski Nautique Commander 351W |

Maybe you missed this... it will probably help:
If the dimensions listed in your link are accurate, (9-3/8" tall) then it wont fit in the box. ------------- |

 My ADD kicked in again and I didn't even notice the MM column. Sorry Tim.------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I really like your Stanley tape measure.
I have one just like it. For the first 77 1/4" it has really good info on the back of the blade. Nine different sections! Decimal Equivalents Nail Sizes Common Nails Per Pound Wood Screws Chisel and Plane Iron Degrees Useful Formulas (not the boat Formula) Conversion Tables Coated Abrasives And Common (soft wood) Lumber But nothing about batteries! |

Tim, What happened to the Stanley photo ? edit: sorry, must be my laptop. Stanley pics there, then it's gone, now it's back again. |

Al you have the carpenter model,you need the automotive one.Don't get the marine one it's twice as much and pretty much tells you the same thing. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Well Gary, If the marine version "floats" then it's well worth the price. Cause I have at least one of the Stanley 25ft models sitting on the bottom of the lake. Probably not too far away from my brand new Makita 3/8 Variable Speed Reversing Drill.

I just dropped one of those (not the tape measure) off the roof and it took quite a bounce on the concrete. It still works, but the grip and battery are cracked up. Apparently Makita rigorously tests their tools and has a good warranty. I will be using a lanyard next time! ------------- |
