Man, this boat battery is making me mad! My boat has only been setting up for about 3 or 4 months. I get here from Guam and the darn thing won't hold a charge. I know my first mistake was not getting a "maintanence free" battery. But shurly the battery didn't kick the bucket after only a few months? Have any of you other guys run into this before? What causes the batteries to go bad, and what kind of preventative maintanence can I do? 60 bucks a pop to crank a boat can get expensive.
