    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    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.

    I have had a pretty good look. The main wiring had a pretty thick coating of insulation tape over it all. That is now off for inspection.
    Also taken the carbs off to have a clean up. So it may be a while before it's back in the water

    Don't forget to change to plugs! I got a new motor doing that last week, I also run it, a Johnson big looper 130 HP V4, on premium gas.
