    T and H stainless battery hold down buckles

    Does anyone have a schematic or advice on how these things work. Every time I take a battery out it is a frustrating puzzle trying to figure out how to make them cinch down.

    Me too. No matter how I thread them through they still pull loose.

    send me an email tomorrow at mkelley@thmarine.com and I will send you a picture file that shows how it works. You're not alone - many people have the same issue.

    I only take one battery loose at a time, so I have the other buckles to look at.

    Got them to work by using other buckles as a guide which is what I do every time but it is a complete excercise in futility. Feel like an idiot attempting to thread them through 6 ways from Sunday till I finally get them to work.

    I think we should find the guy that designed them and beat him with them. It wont fix the problem but make everyone feel so much better. After that we could go get the people who invented jet ski's. I would pay money to hit that jerk.

    Why don't you post the pic here? It is evidently a common problem.

    I use to have the same mind blowing issue with those little bastards. I finally figured out how to do it, and they work out everytime. But I cant explain it, do to simple confusion so I will take a pic for you guys.

    Re: T and H stainless battery hold down buckles (bigbass111)

    I just looked at one to see if I could explain how to do it in simple terms. Here we go....

    First off, you need to pop the s/s buckle into the inside out position. Then you need to run the end of the strap from the bottom up and back down around the center bar with the rounded edge.

    then pull tight and buckle down.... this may be to confusing....Pics will follow, I just took them.....

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who couldn't figure it out. I thought I was just brain dead.
