Colby 560... progress, almost time to start it up!

colby64 · Jul 28, 2012

Decent day today, battery installed & mount, master kill switch & fuel line.

Complete wiring and some other little things then it will be time to start it up!

Our plan is to get it running, touch up anything, etc etc after that is good we'll put on the hoods & fenders and we'll be done!!

Having a couples baby shower on Aug 17th, plan will be have it done for that as our baby is due around Sept 1st.

missing anything??

Yes are pricey but I did NOT want to worry about ANY issues with a battery.

Considering adding a good battery tender, what do you guys think?

Dr says week early?

I've found that optimas don't like to sit---sooo
a tender hook up might be good while you're in there

Are those optima batteries about same size as your standard 12 volt battery? Width & height & length?

yes I believe so, my old battery mount would have held this with no problem.

I just did not want an chance of leaking battery is why i went with Optima
