Received the report, the surveyor didn't actually check the batteries, but noted the leisure battery bank was flat on his arrival at the test.
Looking back at a recent visit to view the NB, it was a frosty morning and with a little effort the starting battery fired her up, so the battery can't be all that bad
I think I will suck up the cost of new leisure batteries as most of the report was favourable and the negative points noted were mostly anticipated prior to negotiations, and as such reflected our price pitched.
Many good comments giving food for thought, but we will attempt to make our way to our new moorings with generator and battery charger to hand in case of emergency, hopefully this side of Christmas. A two day cruise, so should hopefully get some juice into those batteries before she rests for a while.
Im hoping to spend much of the next few months getting the NB into a better shape in preparation for the spring.
So.................. I think it safe to say I'll be back with more questions before long.
Cheers
