Boaters, We bought a 242 Limited E at towards the end of last season. We trailered it around but this year have a slip. It’s at Lake Winnipesaukee, NH. I have a couple questions for you seasoned guys:
We put the Bimini top on yesterday and decided to leave it on but reduced the tension a bit while in the slip. I saw another guy did the same with his 242 in our marina. Is this a good practice?
I shut the batteries off when we left. I seem to remember somebody recommending to leave the batteries on and the auto bilge on as well. Our boat has the solar trickle chargers so I think we’d be good.
Last, how do we turn on or know the auto bilge is on when the key is out.
These may be basic to some, but this is the first time we’re keeping a boat in the water for the season.
Thanks in advance.
Ed
