no real reason for this post other than informative...lol
well today i went and bought 2 new battery trays cause i wasn't happy with my old ones and while there i decided to buy a new cranking battery. the one i replaced was in the boat when i bought it and was actually a series 24 car battery with side terminals. i had no reason to believe it was going bad but i bought a new house battery 2 years ago when i bought it so now both have been replaced. i bought a 1000 cranking amp battery and it did seem to start faster than with the old one. my volt meter still reads 12 and i also have a new alternator so my guess is gauge or bad connections. i'm going to take my volt meter down next time to verify the output.
had the boat out for about 1 hour today on plane for just about all of it and all was fine. ran good.
