    Sailing off and then on the hook! Mad skills guys! Well doone. Plus doggo checking the new battery installation.... great crew.

    Good work there with the battery- the secret to keeping them working long term is cleaning and roughing the ground every couple of months. Make it a regular service item if you haven’t already, make sure it is a good effective ground.

    Right! Bummer and stressful but fixable.

    Glad that you sailed off and on the hook. Good job you two! Feel proud! The next time that you buy a battery have them test it first. Also look for a circle on the end of it with the manufacturer date. If it is old don't buy it.

    • @SailingZephyr
      @SailingZephyr  Před 4 měsíci

      good advice. We have definitely been caught out before by old batteries for sale.

    Probably time to redesign your DC electrical circuits so you can switch to your house bank when your starter battery dies.

    First! Nice video, and man that dead starter battery is no fun.

      No.1!!! Nice work...It was definitely an expensive day. But glad we were forced to sail off anchor for the first time.

    Does the anchor windless have a separate battery? If so, couldn’t you use that start the engine?

  • @mloret6745
    @mloret6745 Před 4 měsíci

    Why not use the charger to start the engine?

  • @neilmoffat8163
    @neilmoffat8163 Před 4 měsíci +2

    you never cleaned .. sand-papered the existing connectors .... you never applied an alchohol cleaning agent to all connectors ... after starting a smear of grease to the battery terminals is all good practice

      Or maybe they didn’t include every second of the process
