Hooray! What a sweet sound - my Westy motor running! We put it on a charger at 2 amps so it took some time. My husband's volt meter showed just under 12 volts for both batteries.

The aux install is very unaesthetic. The battery compartment doesn't close properly. That's something I'd like to check into when I get time. I have no idea what I left running that drained the battery. At least if it happens again, I'll know to put it on the charger for a couple of hours.

I think I've just decided on a name for my Westy - Scarlett O'Hara! Now to get some extra fuses! Patti 1990 Westy (Burgundy) "Scarlett O'Hara" ********************************
