Hello everyone,
Running a Phoenix 721 with 2 power poles and I got stranded on the water. Battery would not start the engine (250 Mercury Optimax) I checked the cells after the fact and they were very low on water--maybe the problem--replacing battery, same as before Interstate 27M-XHD, 800 CCA, 1000MCA. Guess that this battery cooks down the distilled water quickly?
Just don't understand if the battery wasn't properly maintained and that's where the problem came from? Or if I used my power poles more without running the engine for the alternator to re-charge it? Or maybe I left the key in the center position, ready to start but not off (far left). Could that have done it?
Thoughts, don't want problems on the water again!!
Should I buy a Weego product?
Appreciate it.
