    Battery Replacement for 2019 212X

    A bit off the mark since it's from the service manual for our 2012 SX240: "Marine Grade Gourp 24 Dual Purpose, 675 Marine Cranking Amps". (No "stock tray" for us.) FWIW, on the advice of someone here on the forum I went with an Optima Blue Top for our SX240 (two of them actually) back in 2015...

    Going back to the original question, our boat is on a lift in the back yard. It's more expensive to use the marina gas stations (in the order of $0.50 to $0.75 a gallon...) but a hell of a lot more convenient (and I can be lazy!). I think this year we're going to switch to using the various 5...

    Posting this one not for the image which is fine and I think has been on here before but for the on line comment that followed... And then some wag posted: "Zoo next door was worse, one mangey dog...it was a Shi Tzu... "

    House on the water or near it?

    @Jim_in_Delaware we're in exactly the same boat - and the tricky thing is timing the sale of our current house. Agent says they'll get the paper work done on the week end, announce the house as "coming soon" on Monday, pictures on Tuesday, listing goes "live" Thursday and expect multiple offers...
