battery

Hi. I have a 2005 Sea Ray 185 Sport with the back 'bucket' seats type layout. I need to replace the battery. The opening at the top seems too small to remove the battery - it won't fit. Is there some secret to removing the battery from the boat? Do I need to remove some of the trim pieces? Is...

I see lots of battery questions here, so I thought I'd share my research, and see if there are any comments on my conclusions. My 2006 205 Sport went into service in spring 2007 for the 1st owner. I bought it this March with about 45 hours on it. It appears to have the original battery as it...

I am wanting to replace my existing battery for my 99 Bowrider 180 and there are a few different Optima Blue Top models so I am not sure which one to go with. Unfortunately at this time I am only using one battery on the boat. D27M D34M D31M I do have a pretty good audio system with amps...

I have 2 battery’s on the boat with a battery switch isolating them. I replaced one battery 2 years ago (deep cycle group 27) and now the other is in need of replacement. Question is do I replace it with a deep cycle, or a “marine starting battery” like it has now? What do you guys...

I have a 1999 Sea Ray 230 BR with the hydraulic engine compartment. Anyone know of an easy way to lift the engine compartment hatch if you have a dead battery? I haven't had this problem yet, but I want to be prepared as I boat in some remote locations!

I am new to the forum (2002 260 DA) and am very interested in thoughts on comments about a battery drain issue I had this weekend. I purchesed and had professionally installed two new glass mat batteries in Feb. I have run my boat no less than every two weeks over the winter and the volts...

Has anyone had their horn click when they push the touchpad but only make a click sound? When I push the horn button I can hear the relay click and the horm makes a a sound for a split second then nothing. If I push the horn button several times I get the same thing - split second sounds of...
