Well, after it finished dripping on the weeds, I put it in a plastic
bag and box and took it back. The clerk didn't even want to look at it,
he just traded it out. :)
And gave me a new receipt so my warranty starts over. :)
Now I guess I get to figure out the best way to secure it for those
corduroy roads.

Thanks guys!

The first thing I would do is make sure that the battery is placed in one of
those plastic battery boxes. This will help protect the battery from case
damage.

I'm not sure how your boat is set up, but when I was running a small boat,
the strap for the battery box was secured to the boat. This in turn kept
the battery from jumping around in the boat when trailering.

I already have a battery box, but this old V-bottom has no place to tie
it off. I'm gonna have to fasten it to a cross brace with rivets, I
guess.

Tie it off to the seat vertical surface. You always want it in a battery
box, so you do not make as many holes in the wearing apparel that upsets
SWMBO.
