We took WILLOW in to see Gary for an oil change, new water pump impeller, anodes, lubrication and a new water separator. We also had a battery switch installed to ensure there are not any systems drawing power when she is shut down with the exception of the bilge pump, which has an automatic float switch.
The techs at Gary's Suzuki Shop did an awesome job fabricating a custom bracket for the switch, they wanted the switch to be unobtrusive and they did not want to add any new holes to their favorite boat :)
The smart charger kind of adds redundancy to the switch, or vice versa, but our goals were to eliminate any current draws AND always have a topped off battery.
Logan got very creative, he replaced the wood screws in the seat back hinge with stainless machine screws and lock nuts to secure the battery switch bracket underneath the seat.
Gary's crew took good care of WILLOW, she always has a special spot indoors for her overnight stays, it seems they may have kept her a few more days than needed, hmmm, I think they just like having her around.
If you have a fine boat that needs a Suzuki motor, give Gary a call at his family business, Lou's Marine in Gulf Breeze Florida. 40+ years in business, oldest Suzuki Dealership in Florida and second oldest in the US.
