Installing a new battery in pontoon boat. NAPA Marine RV Starting battery

Описание: Does a boat take a special battery? Yes! Marine batteries are designed for use by boats - with deep cycle technology. Our Sun Tracker Party Barge 21-foot pontoon boat battery was dead. It could no longer operate the power trim and tilt on our Mercury 60 hp bigfoot outboard engine. In this video, I install a new Marine RV Starting battery from NAPA 12 volt deep cycle battery into the boat. This battery replaces the Exide Nautilus Dual Purpose battery 24MDP that was previously in the boat, probably from Home Depot. Then we spent some time cruising around the lake towing the hot dog tube, and taking our Great Dane (Olive) on a night time cruise on the lake. This pontoon boat has been a lot of fun. #summerofolive #purplecollarlife #shoplocal #pontoonboat #suntracker
