Contact your insurance company about this. Also read your insurance policy
to see whether spars are covered. They usually are.

I picked up a Johnson Controls group 31 AGM a year ago, a friend picked up 3

The 200 minutes reserve capacity is a plus, as is the bulk charge rate of about

A downside is they weigh 71 lbs.

I replaced mine a few years ago and went with Northstar AGMs (Group 31). These
were highly rated then by several reviews.
They claim to be made from 'virgin' (as opposed to recycled) lead, are ~ $350
each and weigh at least 70 lbs.

Scary! Makes me reflect on my own maintenance and inspection practices. I
always have a nagging fear that part of my rig will let loose, the mast
will come down, and someone will die. Now I'm even more parinoid. Glad to

When considering anything other than lead acid wet cells keep in mind that
all of your charging systems (alternator, solar, wind, and shore power)
will need to be properly setup for the alternative technology and
chemistry. Wet cells aren't perfect but they offer a tremendous value and
make things
Here is another thing to consider when redesigning/replacing your
batteries. The orientation of wet cells can affect their longevity.

There is a pretty solid concensus that better batteries weigh more. If you
are looking to source from a conventional store then find the heaviest
battery at the best price.
AGMs are bet

We were dis masted yesterday
My neighbour here (Whitby ON) took his "new" 35-2 out two weeks ago and the
engine went bang. He bought the boat from the widow of his best friend, and
this was to have been an inaugural sail, he was out with friends and family and
received a tow back. Pretty discouraged I think.

Thanks Doug - sorry to hear about the heat.
If heat in the locker is contributing to the overheating (if ) then you
have other issues. You can check the hose to the strainer from there.
Weeds if any would be caught in the strainer, for sure check that.

Every boater has an opinion on batteries. I've been using Delco Voyager
wet cell batteries for almost 20 years. Usually get 7-8 years life.
Except for the spill prevention aspect of AGMs, I think the Voyagers offer
the most bang for the buck. The pro fishermen like them also.
On the other hand,

Actually, the "pin size blisters" may be more what some of us call gelcoat

the gelcoat a bit too thick in this area.

Thanks for the info.
I was wondering how to dismantle the cabinetry. What do you have to do and
where are the screws? Do you have to take the sink area apart and then the back

like a major job and a PITA. H
Clearly the blisters didn’t slow your ambition to fix her up and sail, I
