Engine Dies Immediately Before Docking 💀

Boat Mom

Engine died before we even got to the dock for fueling. One shot to throw a midship line at the piling and hard stop the boat before colliding into another. Our skills as sailors are always tested. Called the marina office and got a tech team out at the boat in 11 minutes. Cisco and I put our brains together to try to figure out why our engine was not happy and go figure it was a hissing sound that we both heard that landed us to the problem: battery was overcharging and swelling. New battery was put in instantly and systems checked for proper charging. Except for a bow thruster that won't work, all systems go? Please? 🙏🏻
