Hey everyone. I just thought I would post a scare that I had. I wanted to take my boat out today, and something hit me to check if I got everything in my boat. So what happened was that I kept hearing a beep as I was undoing my storage cover. So when I looked inside I seen that my gauges were all lit up and looked down and I had the ignition on. I was like ****. Read the battery level and it said 8.3v. So I quickly grabbed the water muffs and hooked them up and pumped the gas into the motor and turned on the water to full blast and then I tried starting the motor it wouldnt even turn the motor. all it was doing was making a click sound. I got depressed. So I called up my mechanic and we are going to try and slow charge it. Hopefully it will hold the charge. Otherwise I have to spend $200 on a marine cranking battery. Sad part is that I don't even remember turning the ignition or anything. Especially I would have heard the beep when turning the key because the Optimax beeps when you turn the key. So that was my scare. I hope everything is ok with the battery and lucky I wasn't on the water. Wish me luck guys.
