Hi Mark
Was just going to post - I have 24's as well. Curious why you leave the batteries on board over winter (do you store in the water?).
"Up North" I take my batteries out and trickle charge them. This will be year 7 of using the standard wet cell marine batteries (SeaVolt) brand from Worst Marine I think. I am surprised they lasted this long...they tested "OK" specific gravity wise - but they are on the edge so to speak.

I went back out and was able to get them out, they are Group 24. The
positive posts had corroded off the top of the battery. They were only 10
year old SeaGels from West Marine. They were good when I winterized the
boat last Fall. I did luck out though, my company had 25 new Deka
Intimidator AGM batteries in stock so I have them in the trunk ready to take
them back tomorrow. I only live about a mile from my boat which is nice
when I forget tools and beer!
Well, I finally got to go to my boat today and clean it up for the first
time this year. My batteries are dead and I need to get a couple new ones.
I am recovering from back surgery and just couldn't climb down there to
check
them out. Does anybody recall what size the batteries are the fit between
the fuel tank and the engine compartment on the original design 27? I am
thinking group 27 or 31??
