- 8.2, with Bravo III drive.
So, our boat sits on a lift at our dock all winter. We just had it recommissioned for the summer and I know the techs had to jump the battery for that process. I assume that means it will need to be charged before I can take it out.
Here's the dumb question: Will I need to uncover the boat and do anything inside (i.e., do something to the battery switch) before plugging it in to shore power to charge the battery? I think I've read where the shore power will charge both batteries - even if the battery switch is set to "off."
I'm sure there could be differences between different boats and perhaps some modifications that have been made, but what is the general situation? Can I just plug it in to charge?
Thanks!
