| Post subject: | Battery Overheating ? |
I have a 1986 19 ft. 4-Winns bowrider with v-6 and just recently put in a new battery (marine). On my last run, the boat just quit and would not turn over. I found the battery (+ side) terminal partially melted with the cables very hot. No problem noted on the voltage gauge (13v) and all other electronics appeared to be working well. Could there be a problem with the battery internally shorting out? Anyone out there that would be able to help, please respond. Thanks in advance. Terry |

Has it always worked fine till the new battery? If so take the battery back. If its the first time u had a battery in it, what size wire? and have your alternator tested. (did I spell alternator correct?) |

I agree, it sounds like a defective connection inside the battery where the terminal attaches to the plates. |
