Following my own advice that I have given freely over the last 30 odd years, today I bought two Champion AGM 110 AH batteries. If I had done this when I bought the boat a few months ago I would not be in the position of fixing the stanchion that got caught under the wharf (that's another story).

Now these new batteries don't come with 'posts' so I will have to sort that out tomorrow.

Really looking forward to getting out on Botany Bay but must admit I miss careel bay and Pittwater.
