Hours not miles

Invest in some drifts. Preferably brass ones so u can use them to reinstall the race without damaging them.

I had that same batteries on our RV , We had good luck with them. Bought them in 2016, just replaced them. They were put on another RV and is still working. Sorry you had such a bad luck.

Is this hard to steer at low speeds?

Barely pump your bearing buddies. Check Basscat boats trailer bearing recommendations

This is a terrible idea for a boat trailer. Do not follow this advice! By pumping that much grease, you will blow out the back bearing and water will get in

I bought my Honda 25 hp in 1999 brand new. I asked the dealer if I should buy a Mercury or Honda. He said Honda and I asked him to explain why. All he said was because it's a Honda.He said after my 10 hour service I will never see him again. He was right I have never had to take my boat to the dealer for any reason. I do all the maintenance regularly myself and the only thing that has gone wrong was I had to replace the dashpot and the gear wheel in the shifter box wore out from trolling so much. Putting it in neutral and in gear probably thousands of times while stopping to reel in fish. Don't know how many hours it has but it always starts up and still runs like it is new. All I can say it is one of the best purchases I have ever made in my life.Im glad I took the salesman's advice and bought it.

Got this same battery in 2017, it still works.

How did you figure out what size you needed?

I have a Honda BF50A 2008. I bought the boat and the engine at the same time. When the boat was new I got it up to a speed of 30 knots. Now it only clocks 26 knots. Could old spark plugs cause the engine not to get the full effect?

I stopped using NeverStart batteries years ago. My Auto Zone DuraLast Gold lasted 8 years. Doubt Any "Value" type battery on the market could hold up like that in a vehicle outdoors with extreme heat & cold temperatures.

I bought one when this video was released 4 years ago, and it's still on my boat.

See any squirrels often?

I have a BF 2.3, BF8A, BF15A4, and a BF90A4. Hondas are the best!

Smart man!

Do you think it will work on hairline Crack on my trim Cylinder? We went to lift the motor and found it leaking fluid from the Cylinder.

I have 12 of the MAXX DC29 batteries on my house solar power system and 6 more of them on the well pump system. The ones running my well are now over 10 years old this month (May 2024) and the ones on the house solar power system are 5 years old. One of the batteries on the well started cooking off about 4 years ago and I replaced it with a newer back up battery which I keep fully charged at all times on a third (small) solar power back up system. The well batteries are all still doing fine at 10 years old. The house solar had a battery lose a cell last month at 5 years old. It was reading 10.9 volts while all the others were at 13 volts. I replaced that battery with a 2 year old back up MAXX DC29 in March and the system is reading float and morning voltages like new again. I suspect I should have no more problems with that system for another 5 years or so. I take extremely good care of my batteries and check fluid levels every spring and fill what needs it. 2 MAXX DC29's out of 18 going bad after all these years is not a bad deal breaker for me. I have had the Trojan batteries in the past that lasted about 8 years before cooking off and they are extremely expensive now. DC29's are at this time the cheapest and best Deep Cycles for solar in my opinion. I just bought a new one today to replace the one I removed from the house power system last month to go on the back up power system with the other back up battery. I take these ones camping, for the portable camping solar power system.

I have the same exact boat! Have two issues. First issue is it leans to starboard, was wondering if you experience the same. Second the the aluminum corner caps at the stern push the water into the boat. Had to grind them flush with side of hull… so that’s fixed but wish it didn’t lean.

been using these for 20 years and never a problem.must be operator error lol

I forgot to ask another question or two. Did you sand it first and if so, what grid of sandpaper?

I like trolling for bass exactly like your doing put I often hook up with tree or structure at that depth and lose a lot of lures, gets costly.

Wow 2019 review of a 3 year old battery that was produced in 2016 . With a 2 year warranty, obviously you purchased a old battery off the shelf ,telling people not a good battery, made by the number 1 battery producer Johnson controls. Love my everstarts replacing one Ive had in my boat for 8 years ,still tests good ,but dont want to push my luck .

Bought the same battery in 27DC. Still going strong. 👍

i have small areas in my gel coat that is cracked, about 3 or 4. Looks like dings when trailering at some point from the previous owner. The cracks are about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/8th of an inch wide. I see repair kits online but picked this jb weld marine weld up at academy and was thinking of giving it a try. So this stuff works that well?

Most deep cycle batteries only last 2 to 4 years . I had great luck with ever start batteries. About 6 years ago I replaced my trolling motor batteries . One was 7 years old and the other was 11. I knew they were old. But I was shocked to see one of them had lasted 11 years.

What about turn signal lights not working? Run and break lights work fine. Thanks

Dose it affect reverse

TOO RICH FOR ME !!

I have been using an EverStart Maxx Marine Battery, Group Size 29DC 12 Volt, 845 CCA $100.00 with a With a 2 year guarantee.i Usually get 4 or 5 years out of them. I have never had a problem with these batteries.

Absolutely do not buy these rod holders if you are drifting for catfish. I put six on my boat and have broke 2 of them when the rods got hung up on the bottom.

Thanks for this. I have watched your follow up video as well. I have a pontoon boat. I’m going to try this on the Wells that could be cracking. I know it’s leaking. I got a guy that says he’s going to help me drain them and he will mark Where they leak. Rather than take it to the welder, I’m going to try the JB well fix.

Actually you should use the everstart 27DP not the 24 I’m thinking that’s the why. Because I have the 27DP and better that other brands Ives bought over the last 12yrs Rving

I have had a everstart batteries for my boat still using same ones from 2017 and they still going strong.

Came here to see the jack stand comments. lol. Yo!! Get it on the axle bro! Otherwise, nice work.

how long after you drain the boat can you use the jb weld? I was hoping I could do all this in one day

Everstart 27M marine

Someone please make a video on how to properly maintain these batteries.

I've had issues with Interstate and walmart. Right now I've got 5 months on a Walmart and it only last good for 2 hours and I have a solar trickle charge on it. I'm pusing a 12 foot jon boat. Our local almart has no way yo check them out so I take them back and exchange them. like you, still looking for a decent battery/ I've had issues with the last 3 Walmart batteries. I fish about twice a week for a bout 4 hours at time

@The fishing educator Something I just learned - deep cycle batteries are NOT for starting/cranking boats - they are only suppose to be used for cranking /starting in a pinch ~~~learn something new everyday ❤ who knew!!

Guess he ever start marine battery I been using mine for 3 and a half years not that one mine blue and gray I heard Maxx ant about shit, mine rain for a solar shed though that's on my page it been that long it's lead acid AMG not maxx it say jest Marine,, light blue and gray

IM ABOUT TO BY A CC W TWIN H 200S 4S THAT HAVE 1000 HOURS, 2005 SO 19 YEARS, ANYONE ON HERE HAVE ANY EXP WITH THE 200S? TY

Well danm thats u fortunate. I have a 109ah everstart marine deep cycle battery thats 12 years old now and still kicking a** (for 55lbs trolling motor and depth finder) it spends LOOOONG periods of time unused and in the cold/heat (like 4-5 years once) but always holds 95% of her charge its insane

Dude this worked like a charm thank you so much!!!

Thanks, this helped me with my new Haswing trolling motor

I purchased 4 everstart marine batteries a year ago for a diy budget solar project. All have failed.

I've had a 14-foot flat bottom boat since 2008 and have used 4 of the same batteries with a 30lb thrust minnkota trolling motor. The batteries I've used that have lasted just over 4 years have been this one, Everstart marine/rv 27DC 750MCA 109 amp hours it's a little larger then the one in your video but I've had good service with that battery every time , my recent one and it is the same is five years old and ready for replacement and I see it still available to this day I am going to buy another thank you for reading I will say that I Ave herd Hurticane has good batteries I may look into one but it is hard to change if you have had good service using the one battery all these years .OK thank you for reading .

Back trolling slow your boat exactly the same as this accessories….free tips.

Have 2 of the same batteries but group 29. ABSOLUTELY LOVE MINE. one is 7 yrs old. The other is 10yrs.old. My Yamaha charges them to about 70%. So after each trip they are put on the charger.

After buying it, they’re supposed to get fully charged before using them.

I would also advise you to not touch a lead acid battery and then rub your face with said finger.
