Does anyone have any tricks on replacing Battery Hold Downs once you replace the battery? I need a new battery due to loosing a cell. The dealership says they use a special tool because the straps are so tight. With out the special tool they say it could take me an hour to R/R those straps. Any ideas or tricks would be helpful. Thanks, Mike


P.S. Also looking to sell this ski, just sits in the garage with 32 minutes of run time!!!!

Re: Honda Aquatrax Battery Hold Down???

list it on craigs list free adds// as for the straps, if they have wire ends that go on to hooks and they are tough to stretch, try a really big screwdriver ,cut a notch in the center of the blade, put the wire end in the notch and you can push it down easier to connect it to the hook.
you will need to grind the notch in it due to it being case hardened.
A file may work to make the notch also.
