Has anyone installed a battery switch on a 1991 ski Nautique? I bought the boat used and had a new battery installed. The battery seems to be normal size, but takes up the entire compartment where the battery is. I’m curious if anyone has figured out a workaround to be able to install a battery switch. Right now I’m just taking the positive terminal on and off when I need to use It, which is not ideal

A Group 65 battery will fit perfectly in the compartment.
Plenty of people have added battery switches, but if yours is draining, there may be another issue. You are turning the Ignition breaker on the dash off when you're not using the boat, right?Please do not PM me directly asking for advice on how to repair your boat.
