I have no issue with swapping out a battery on an automobile, but are there any reason I should not be able to simply remove the old one and shop for a new one with it ? Are there any 'special' marine issues I should be aware of when replacing a boat battery ? (will the radio memory, other components,etc. be affected much)
I have a 240 SeaRay Sundeck, 2006, with original battery, and my gut says to go ahead and replace a nearly 5 year old battery ? or is this overkill? It has been a little slow cranking, but not terrible.
Also, what is this 2 battery situation I read about to keep the stereo running on one while sitting still, but reserve for starting the engine ?
