Re: [Amc-list] OT: Battery under water !?

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I'd guess from the looks of it that it was under water for at least a few days to a week or more.
It's been about two weeks since we were down.

I wish cars held up like Seadoo water craft!
One of these things is a 94 and the other a 95 and they just run and run and run, with next to zero maintenance.
Supposed to have jet pump oil changed every 50 hours, but that doesn't happen on a regular basis. I suspect that since the drives are surrounded by cool lake water they don't run hot enough to do much damage to the lube.
Still should be getting that taken care of I guess...
