Saw a guy this past weekend with his wife and child on the water out in Ashley river. I noticed he had engine cover off, he said he smelled Burrnt rubber. I had his wife and child board my boat and he and I looked for problem. I found the battery terminals were loose and the wires were pulling to much current. We tightened them up and I waited to feel the wires as they cooled down. So, pay attention to the small overlooked stuff my friends, he almost had a bad situation. Mark
12V DC loves a loose connection!.. Once I had an aluminum boat. I decided to wire it for lights - horn - pumps. I got this great idea to only run one wire to everything and run a short heavy wire from the negative post to the hull. Every thing I touched shocked me
