Sorg 15 Runabout WILLOW 26 Jul 20 Battery Tender and Bilge Pump

26 Jul 20:

Before we got to battery chargers we filled a couple of screw holes with THIXO Wood. Once it dries we will replace the screws that went missing a few weeks back.



Put a ProMariner ProSport HD6 battery tender on WILLOW's lead acid battery.



First turned on, the tender analyzed the battery condition. Looks like it needs a charge.


Found a nice spot for the tender, better than attaching to a structural member of the boat.



Checked on the battery a few hours late, it seems pretty happy now. Once a month the tender will go through a storage recondition cycle that discharges the battery a bit then recharges it.


WILLOW's bilge pump is located starboard side aft, and has an automatic float switch in addition to the dashboard switch.
