Hit B/V at 6am this morning to get a couple of fun runs in before tomorrow when I take the quads to Pismo for the week.... This is what I was lookin at when I -TRIED- to fire up the boat....

So.... I packed up and headed home........... I needed to do some prep work for my trip anyways. Guess I get to wait till next week!

Bummer - I carry really long jumper cables just for that occasion. Pull the tow vehicle nose first down the ramp, give her a jump - and off you go to shred that glassy water! Not so good if you forget to leave it running and no one else is out though! ;-)

ive jump started my boat many times by flipping my truck battery(or another boat battery) upside down of my boat battery.

Ran great the last time I was out...... We coulda been back on the water in about an hour if we had to, but it was all family so we figured we could head out anytime... The new battery is already in.

a jump box you can get one at wal-mart . just plug it in to your power supply and let it charge on the way to the lake. they have cables and only weigh about 15 lbs.
