HANDLING THE BOAT RAMP

It’s a warm, sunny day. There are only a few people on the water and the trout and puppy drum are biting…

A boat ramp scene like this one is the last thing you’d expect to see.

The better the fishing, the nicer the day, the more chaos you can expect at a boat ramp. Especially around south Hampton Roads, a region sorely in short supply of boat ramps. For a region surrounded by water, with a huge boating community, there should be at least 10 times more ramps.

QUESTION & ANSWER

QUESTION: WHY IS IT RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE ALL MY BATTERIES AT THE SAME TIME, EVEN THOUGH ONLY ONE TESTS BAD?

ANSWER: It is always recommended to replace multiple batteries at the same time, especially those hooked up in series or parallel. Most chargers, when in use, identify the weak battery and start charging it. If you hook up a newer battery, the charger may overcharge the newer one, causing its lifespan to shorten dramatically. Conversely, if the charger stops prematurely because it senses the newer battery is charged, it can shorten the lifespan of the older battery. When you replace all the batteries, you start with good voltage. This will also decrease issues with electrical problems in today’s modern voltage-sensitive engines. So, start with all fresh batteries, and you will be more assured of proper operation.
