New House Batteries

     We waited a long time for this day to arrive - new batteries.  In the above photo are three new 4-volt batteries on the trailer waiting to be installed.  In the background are three old batteries just removed from Big Run.  At 315 pounds each ,we needed a little help from the guys at Long Cove Marina.  With the assistance from the travel lift and a long reach boom, we were able to place the batteries within 2 feet of the house battery location in the engine room.  No hernias or bad backs after this lift!  Although the machinery did all the work, there are 5 guys assisting the travel lift. - 2 dockside and 3 on Big Run. In the photo below, I am in the background supervising the installation of the new house batteries.
