As I watch you work on the skid and read how you wonder “what did the owner drive through”, all I keep thinking about is where is my 72 Yamaha EW433 that I had in the UP in the late 70’s.

    New marine battery wont fully charge.

    Get a NOCO or Battery Tender maintainers. Both reliable brands, around $30, and you can get any kind of connector that you need. My Harbor Freight maintainers about 10 years ruined several batteries, switched to NOCO.

    What'd I Miss?

    summer body?
