See full version: 1995 ski nautique battery
The owners manual lists that the battery must be 13" length, 6 3/4" width, and 8" tall (Group 43). However, the only batteries we can find are Group 24 batteries that are too tall for the battery compartments, meaning that we can't close the cover. I was wondering if there were any other owners who own nautiques from these years and could suggest a battery that would fit into the compartments.
Hey everyone, I work for a summer camp that operates two 1995 ski nautiques and one 1996 sport nautique. I've started to look after the boats last summer and will be doing so again this year. We have been having difficulty finding batteries that will fit into the battery compartments on these boats.
My post from above was circa 2010; the Everstarts have crept up above $90 last time I checked. [links]

Recently finished the restoration of my 1988 Ski Nautique. I couldn’t have done it without the help that has been posted on this forum. Thanks to everyone who posted their fixes! I figured I would post a summary and cost to help with anyone else wanting to do the same.
Didn't quite hit the goal but close enough for me. Started Feb 2016, completed April 2017. $16,220 total
