It’s May 2024.
Away on an 8-day family boating vacation, it took everything on the last day trying to start the engines to drive back to home port… thank you generator and Emergency start button.
The following day and after rescuing a fellow boater with an engine problem on the water, both of my engines were dead…

Good vid. Batts are a ton of work. I budget for replacement after 2-3 seasons on 'house' deep cycle batteries, 3-4 seasons on starting batteries. Might be overkill - but with a short season I don't want any preventable issues.

Thank you and great point: I thought about replacing only the worse batteries but I'm just like you at time... I tend to overkill for peace of mind especially that I'm going on a 2 week boating vacation with my wife, starting June 28, up the Rideau Canal from Ottawa. Cheers to preventability my friend, which sometimes proves to be less costly.

Great job! I just did this as well a couple weeks ago on our Rinker. Very heavy and awkward to reach!!

Thanks! Glad to hear it's not just me :) We should both be good for a few years, fingers crossed right? Unbelievably, I have 4 more batteries on the boat totalling eight: 2 for each of my two thrusters.

You're welcome and yes, fingers crossed! Ugh, you may have to Break Out Another Thousand before long then, lol...

I have a 2000 340 Sundancer and I just replaced my batteries also. Man those things are heavy!

Awesome boats aren’t they? Heavy and expensive batteries yet what a nice therapy starting the day after, ha.

You’re bang on, and that doesn’t include my other 4 batteries needed to work my 2 thrusters but so far so good :))
