"Boat dead on the water yester
"Boat dead on the water yesterday due to a dead battery. It was just weird; one moment we were buzzing around on the water having a great time, and I cut off the engine to load the folks who had just finished tubing. When I tried to crank again, nothing. Luckily, a friend of mine was on the water as well, and the boat ran fine with his battery.
So how do I tell whether it is the battery or alternator at fault? I've replaced the battery already (it was 3.5 yrs old) and the boat will crank fine, I'm sure. But, I don't want to be out there again and have the battery go dead on me again."
