    Left Ignition On

    Like it was said to have a piece of mind do a load check it's the only true way to test a battery. Hopefully a fried has one they are not cheap. If not pull them and any parts store can do it for you. All it takes is one bad cell.

    228 seafarer through transducer

    I have a 89 228 it has a 93 and 50gal fuel tanks. I put mine on the starboard side of the bilge while I was at it I put a raw water pickup on the port side. The only hassle was hanging upside down to hookup
