I bought my 2013 Wake 155 new, used it a couple seasons, had a blast. Had it dealer winterized as always 2015, dealer handed me the battery as usual. I’m finally better after a couple years illness, today I’m putting the fully charged battery back into the boat. Two big bolts to secure the battery case to hull, no brainer. The rest, I’m seriously fuzzy on. There is a plastic-like rack that holds some components that sort of hangs on the battery case. Should it hang rearward side of the case, or on top? It seems to hang kinda loosely wherever, just held loosely in place by a plastic edge that hangs on the edge of more plastic, not secured at all, & maybe that's how it’s supposed to be. But I’m really puzzled that what I think is the solenoid (black body with 2 heavy red cables attached) just dangles in space nearby, not secured to anything. Can that be right? If this loose arrangement is by design, I think I’d want to secure things some at least with cable ties…. Or am I missing something? I wish there was a video or good pictorial of how the battery compartment should be arranged, including showing how to position battery cables to make everything fit as designed. Maybe it’s fine as-is, but I’m so rusty I’m hesitant to go as-is. The video here on battery replacement didn’t reflect my configuration. Any guidance or pointing me to pictures &/or videos greatly appreciated !
