Thinking of finding a movie and makin a bowl of popcorn here

sitting on couch, cursing my dumbassness, learnt yesterday that the switch for the lights on the boat is a 3 position, and down is not off..... Launched boat..... dead battery...... boosted and ran, took the kids to a swim spot, anchored, went to leave, battery still dead, booster pack also pretty well dead, pull started motor, when I put cover back on I broke a plug wire, tore it right out of the boot..... need to order new plug wires and plugs tomorrow now..... also need to add master disconnect switch to boat.

pulled the conductor right out of the coil boot..... it's a "crimp" style....... I think I order new ones, and new plugs and then be good for next season. Forecast is not very "boat friendly" over the next couple of weeks.
