Well as some of you know I have this problem keeping a charge on my battery so i needed a way to be able to jump my seadoo while on the water. So what i had to do was 1st turn the battery 180 degrees then cut new slots on this plastic case so that the pos and neg cord would clear it then i mounted these longer hex bolts on so that i can jump it with out having to remove this plastic electronic case every time i have to jump it. here is some pictures little bit red necked but i needed too.


Also since my car is soooo low and when i put my ski in the water on lakes with no docks i had to add a snorkel to my exhaust so that I can restart my car works well for now its removable don't think I drive around with this thing on lol !

"Red Neck"... sure... but did you have fun? and did your car get stuck?

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Good work. Just be careful to not short out your battery... and to not fill you car full of water.

Oh i had fun, havent got the car stuck yet I hope I hope I dont I hate going to lakes with no docks scares me yeh filling my car with water is a concern for me seeing how it was up to the bottom of the doors !

Tell me again why you don't fix the charging system on your ski? Or buy a new battery, or whatever the problem is...

Well due to the fact that I do not know how to fix the problem I found away around the problem. It works well till I fall off then have to be towed by the water police that was fun ! I purchased a gell battery from auto zone it comes in 3 weeks! 100 dollars wow for a battery. I jumped my ski about 8 times today and by the end of the day I was able to restart it with out jumping The thing is the battery in it is brand new bought it this spring its a fill ur self charge ur self pos battery I have charged it and charged it and according to the volt meter it has 4 volts all will be well when i get this battery i hope .

Honda I got stuck today ! lol u should have never asked that lol . I pull the ski into the water and the left side went under into a hole or some thing i tried to pull out but i was stuck lol

Is the battery faulty? Charge it overnight on a trickle charger, pull it off and check the voltage.

Something is really screwy with your setup.

Almost sounds like there is only half the acid in your battery, or something.

i charge it with a 1.5 amp slow charge

Why don't you buy a hand held battery jumper?? There cheap!!!

 

[Star_Burst]

I did not know that existed I just bought a car battery too to put on my trailer !

 

[Slug-O]

Go to Ebay and type.. Battery jumper...this will be a huge help!!!!! No thanks needed Lol...

 

[scooper77515]

I just worry that you are pulling your spark straight off the battery, and one time, you may not make it back to the trailer before the battery dies and you have a chance to "charge" it off the jumper.

well i figure since i have a car battery on the trailor and one in the engine of the car if the jumper battery dies i exchange it for my car battery turn the car on the alternator will charge it and i will use the one thats charged. idk soon ill get my gell battery and im told thats a good choice!
