James, I'm beginning to think that your "low liquids sensing sender" may be malfunctioning. This is NOT GOOD. You should ohm it out to make sure it's at 100% before you go out again...and don't forget Deb:p

Well Davem3, if you're not gonna take the Admiral with you when running fluid level diagnostics on the water, then I STRONGLY suggest you have an anchor and up-to-date flares.:eek:

Re: battery problem

This is why I love iboats, great maint. ideas. I best take a Monday off and start with checking the fluids early Saturday morning. You can't be too careful with maint. Thanks for the idea.
