Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

I had an interesting problem yesterday. Put the boat in and started fine. Started pulling kids on the tube. Wife said, "Hey turn on the radio." I did and it worked fine. We tubed around for a while and the wife says, "you better turn on the bigle pump."

When I did the radio went off. The wife says, "turn the radio back on."

At that point things were going down hill...none of the accessories were working. I turned aroundand headed towards the dock because I thought the battety was dead and didn't want to get stranded.

Got the boat on the trailer and back to the camper.

Took the cables off the battey and rehooked them up but noticed corrison in the battery. Removed corrison and everything worked fine.

Maybe just me but if your battery connection was good and tight, a little corrosion should not have done that.

Cleaning is good and some grease to prevent further corrosion is great. I'm concerned you have something loose somewhere and I'm not being a smart ass!
