    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Ok. I was thinking of putting battery up front to help level it out. It's a bit bum heavy atm.
    I was thinking run the motor and bilge off starter battery. And cabin light, depth sounder and radio off house.
    I will think this over a while

    I truly suspect that may well be the most totally understated description of the century @Rushy you should run for Mayor of Auckland

    Bigger is ALWAYS better when it comes to marine batteries - just don't go stupid and fit 6 forklift batteries!
    And a trickle charger for the winter months is the best maintenance for it.

    Just remember - you can't push start a boat.

    Late arrival to the thread...been bush.

    I would think that battery should do fine if in good nick, a bigger capacity cca might last a bit longer but cost more.

    I would take Mikees or Maccas advice over mine tho I only use electricity to melt stuff.

    Does it have enough compression to warrant running premium?

    It got new plugs in November. The compression ranges from 100-125 psi, not great but not bad for an older motor either.
