Ahmet,
Symptoms? Kaboom!
During the charging process the same electrical current that is used to
charge the batteries also tears the chemical bonds in the water molecules
apart. This is know as electrolysis. The result is hydrogen and oxygen
gas. All lead acid batteries are subject to this

I don’t think the tank would suffer much. I hope that all the lines to and from

When I bought my current boat, it arrived very late in the season so there was

David, in most hard groundings it is the back of the keel that gets driven up
through the boat causing cracks inside the bilge. My son who does repairs at a
local marina has seen this many times. Take a good look at the back end of your
bilge for cracks, you could have some serious structrual da

Absolutely.
Plus, once that smell permeates your boat, it will be obnoxious
I even try to keep mine as empty as possible during the year.

Pump out is inexpensive and should be done. Yes you do want anti-freeze in the
lines.

And the oxygen may actually help :)
I know that if you overcharge a battery, or it is a bad battery, you get a
sulfur smell.
99% of the time I am running on shore power. The battery voltage oscillates
between 12.7 and 14.1
I suspect that most of the charging current goes directly to my consumption
Waterdancer, although an amazingly good sailor (for a Irwin Center Cockpit)
has a a wing keel and a great Yanmar Turbo engine, but functions as a
floating apartment.
Hence the C&C 25.
Since we are both working, my wife would not be happy to have her home not
to be there when she comes back home.

Years ago we had a power boat in our marina that was renamed The Busted
Flush after their half full holding tank froze and burst over the winter.
Even with room for expansion ice will put extra pressure on the tank that
may or may not withstand it. I prefer not to take the chance.

Is your insurance up to date and premium paid?? A hard grounding that
removes lead is by definition a serious stress on the keel and associated
hull structure and needs to be addressed. Suggest you immediately file a
claim and have a reputable fiberglass guy inspect your keel, sump,

Yes pump it out (think of what happens if the contents are allowed to ferment
for 6 months). Then flush with fresh water and pump dry. Then apply antifreeze

I missed an Ebay auction for a pair for $600 something.
These are the older single speed ones.
The newer 2 speed ones go for about $800 each.

Hi David & John,
With all due respect, I suggest you investigate
the conditions of filing a claim immediately.
