Trojan makes their own watering systems. Trojans are what I have in my golf cart. They're watering systems are a little pricey. I have 4 x 12v in my cart, water them all at one time once a month.

Make sure you get the right system for your particular battery type. Yours would be easy with both batteries side-by-side.

I'm not seeing one of those for the 12volt SC225 model.
Guess I'll keep them topped up the old fashioned way.

If they have standard caps, the system I ordered might work.

Here's a table for the system I ordered. It doesn't list your specific battery, but gives the dimensions for a standard 12v.

Looks like yours are much easier to get to than mine. I can barely get water to my starboard side battery, and even with a flashlight and a mirror it is almost impossible to see the level prior to overfilling. I could unhook it and move it each time, but that is a lot of work every 2 weeks / month.

Tuscany you might not like this. But I really like the rear stripe on the new boats. Do you think this would look good on mine. Then what color would you do?
Maybe the sides are not high enough?
In the end your taste is what should rule.
If you are asking my opinion, it would be this.
YT could add to this...
Personally, I like things totally stock. I think it adds to the timeless statement the designers had in mind. There was a gentleman on here a few months back that changed the lettering on his R7. It looked great.
Colors complimented the boat, and the font worked very well. Well designed.
Would I do it? Absolutely not in a million years.
IMHO, when I watch an auction like YT works, I love to look at the 57' chevys or the old Studebakers that are tricked out, but my heart stops and I drool over the unsullied, non-molested factory clean, totally stock stuff. So much harder to present perfect stuff, and it has to be stock to be perfect.
That's just me.
Your boat is beautiful as it sits. Timeless, clean, a head turner, and full of Cobalt class.

I agree with you, but sometimes I like it to look current as well and not a 14 year old boat?
Yes some things should be left alone.

I hear you, but you are in the car business. You know how to deal. You know when to buy.
That R series will fall in your lap out of the blue, and at the right price. You just have to have your eyes open and your catchers mitt on..

Yes it will. I watch everyday for that R3 or Maybe a R5 some day. That's why I love all of you guys loading these babies up for us in the future. I hope I get a 430 for free too.lol
It will be neat to see this industry in the next 5-10 years.

Actually I sorta agree with T. If I add anything to the new BBM boat it will be subtle but make it pop. Hopefully...

hey...
That boat is perfect as it sits.
POP? That thing pops like Orville Redenbacher..
If you guys get bored and wanted to try it, it never hurts to have a sign shop add on a decal first. If it works, paint it. If not, peel it off.

Oh exactly. I would have fastsigns make a decal for me. I would never have it painted on. I had too much wax on the boat even after I took alcohol to it before I put the chrome pinstrip on and it came off. It didn't do much for me so oh well. Yes I love my boat just the way it is but always looking for more.

Like this.
