Uhm, if you are stupid enough to hook your battery up backward, say the red to negative, like, say, after you looked at it and managed to still get it wrong, uhm, well, it will blow the fuse to your regulator. But, if you have like a fairly new motor, you will have a spare fuse stuck right along side the one you just blew, but like, if you have to go to the marina the second time, like, say, after you just spent $62 on battery you could have got at Wal-mart for $39, uhm then the suckers still think they ought to charge you another $5 for giving you this piece of education and a 40cent fuse.

Since you have now saved yourself $5 I would appreciate if you shared that savings by sending me $1 of it to:

SE KY
via the KY Postal Mule Express
(that's the one that AINT blind)

I would also, reluctantly accept $2 per person.

WOW 1st6feet you must be a redneck.

Thanks for the laugh.

P.S. My new boat has a bunch of fuses with a spare attached right next to it. I tough that was a "personal" touch.
