Yesterday I was forced to take my boat out for 3 hour long ride after letting it sit on the slip for 2 weeks or so just to keep the battery charged up. Dont you just hate that. :D

Re: battery problem

It was pure torture today. 90 degrees and after a hour or two of searching found a nice shade spot with a cool breeze coming down a ravine. Dogs were burnt on the grill for lunch. Even found a nice sand bar in the shade. O and now I remember why I was out there in the first place a fluid check.

:D


lake ,,,,,,,,,,,4 feet low
cooler,,,,,,,,full
2 stroke oil,,,, good for at least 8 more tank fulls
fuel tanks,,,,,, full enough

Ahem...I thought it was a battery charging thing. You're gonna have to get your stories straight or you're gonna get busted for sure.

Re: battery problem

Well I was just sitting here and reading and stuff and a friend called up and asked about getting in some night fishing tomorrow night, and mmm yes I think that would be a great time to test the lights n stuff being as the charging system is working fine and the fluids are topped off and stuff and I believe the wife wants to go out Friday or Saturday. Its a ruff job some days.

Re: battery problem

Well got the first night fishing trip in last night and ever thing went fine all the lights worked and with all of the pre trip inspectons , the cooler did run low though, I guess I will be forced to make several more trips out just to try and keep it filled.

Re: battery problem

Do any of you guy's break in your fishing rods. My sig O thinks I'm not being 100% truthfull when I tell her I have to break them in fully before the warranty runs out.
