Sorry if this has already mentioned but felt it could be helpful to new owners.

Not long after getting our new AR240 I had a battery light warning go off, we were about done for the day so I pulled it from the water and inspected when I got home. Engine battery was good, house battery dead as can be.
Inspected the battery compartment and sure enough, a buddy threw a fender in there and I found the DVSr battery wire (tiny black wire connected to house neg.) dangling. It had come loose from the DVSR. It is simply soldered onto the circuit board and it wouldn't take much to pull it off.

I was able to pull the DVSR and re-solder it to the back. After that I wrapped the wire around the box and taped it in a way that it wouldn't happen again.

so 2 things:

1) Use some electrical tape or cable ties to better secure the wire

2)Tell your passenger not to throw things in the battery compartment
