    My rule of thumb for batteries after being in the boat business for nearly 50 years, is that if it’s older than four years, you are just basically ASKING for trouble. It is possible that it would last another six, but it’s much more likely that it will fail tomorrow. And nobody is going to have jumper cables on the ocean. Batteries are cheap, cheap insurance.

    Long live American manufacturing!
