When we were recently out of town on vacation, our 28 year old daughter and her friends decided to take out my Bennington. Weather's since been keeping us grounded from riding on the lake with rains, heavy winds and big waves.
Today was very still, sunny and unusually warm at 85 degrees for the 7th of October.. I first went out and put 45 minutes on my Waverunner @ 45 mph on what may be my last ride of the year.
I moved over to my tritoon boat and turned on the ignition only to find an empty fuel tank. I offloaded a 15 gallons of 100% gasoline into the boat. When I turned back on the ignition, I got no gauges.
The battery was dead because my daughter overlooked turning off the accessory switch going to the depth finder. I just hope I can get my battery charged tomorrow to take advantage of this incredible weather before Friday and Saturday's expected rains appear.
