Hi Roger, I use two 4D gell cells (West Marine by Penn). One installed 1995 and the other in 1997. Still going strong (knock on wood) but I am careful to never overcharge over 14.2V or take them below about 50%. I usually run them in parallel all the time for a combined capacity of 360AH.

I also had major water intrusion from the starboard lazarette due to rainwater from the lazarette hatch accumulating at the bottom of the lazarette and seeping forward. Lastly I've had a pressure water leak which accumulated in t...

Ever since I installed Strikeshield on Allezcat several years ago, lightning has not come near the boat. Perhaps it has psychic powers? The copper rod atop the mast did disappear one night, I assume overboard. Sure glad it didn't impale anyone in the process! Guess I best order a new one. Chet Allez...

Frozen tilt locks are a common problem on the 9.9 Yamaha. I have had some short term success using copius amounts of WD40 sprayed on the mechanism under the lock lever but the only real fix is to pull the engine, dissassemble, and lubricate the whole system (which can be a real challenge!)
