Tip of the week...

First on this weeks tip of the week or should I say tip of the weak...Are you not getting the power you need out of your batteries in your boat? Well if your running wet cell batteries maybe they need some water. Take a  look by using a flat head screw driver to remove the lids and check the water levels. Now BE CAREFULL, that is acid in there. Using a small funnel add some deionized water to the cells that need it. Use a funnel and pour the water in slowly, do not over fill as the water is heated and coverted it will expand causing overflow, so dont over fill. After filling  replace the lids and set your charger to trickle, you should have batteries that give you more power and longer life.
