Went out on Friday April 21 and placed a battery charger on my SeaRay 205, after taking off the winter cover. Taking the winter cover off required getting on a kayak and going under the boat to get it loose. Also put in the drain plug.
Saturday morning found that the battery had not taken the charge so drove to Battery Warehouse to get a replacement. They only had one with a few more cold cranking amps than my previous battery. Feels a tad heavier, but that's ok.
On Sunday April 23 inserted the new battery and right away the bilge pump began running since we'd had 1/2 an inch of rain the day before. Started the boat up and pretty soon she was running smoothly. Took the winter cover support back home and picked up the bimini and installed it and brought the boat back to my neighbor's lift. At which point we tried to raise and lower the outdrive and only succeeded in getting it stuck in the up position. Hopefullly that can get fixed on Monday!
