AHHHH....brand new batteries are no guarantee that they are sound.....you don't know how long they have been sitting around. A quick "load test" at the auto parts store [free] will tell you if the battery is "sound".....a load test will stress the battery (with a resistive load , load tester will start heating up) and can quickly diagnose that all battery cells are working, etc.....TRUST NOTHING!Ok cool, thanks for the advice. Will work through all of these. The battery is brand new, so will start with the other tests
And, not for nothing.....skis really need to be in the water to properly dial them in.....skis running on trailers on a hose only tell us that they start......sitting in the water puts a load on the engine and that's when you can really diagnose problems.....(sitting on a trailer in enough water is OK too).
