And Like Pat, altho not a boat yard I spend some days on battery room duty at United Airlines taking care of battery charging--big deal--lots of acid and current---and the damn door opened inwards instead of outwards so you couldn't get out with acid in your eyes---oh, did I tell you about the acid and your clothes?? even with the rubber aprons, gloves and face shields????

we would up load all them batteries out of the boats then up on racks check owners name look at them so they were not dry hook them all up and run like hell never had one blow up but there were big white spots on the floor and water was 1/4 mile a way at that time the we knew who made good battery and who did not at that time the marine ac delco were the better of many
