Well it finally happened I got banned in my Ranger 185 today. The ranger that inspected my boat got out a flashlight and looking between my batteries in about a 3/4" slot saw come grime on the bottom of my boat. I guess it is my fault as I knew the rules. To clean this area I would have to pull all 4 batteries and the trays that have silicone around the holes to clean. I guesss I figured I was okay due to the fact that I had been getting in for the past month or so. Fortunately I have a 15' bass boat that I can use. All I need to do is put a trolling motor and fishfinder on it which I have been meaning to do for quite some time and then I willl have 2 complete boats. Thank god I have a back up, I go on vacation on the 17th for 11 days. Be careful and good luck.
Peace
Rich
