Thanks all for the good suggestions. I bought a Grp 24 battery yesterday with 800 cca for $95, not bad. I'll use the main sheet and a self tailing winch to get her into cockpit and go from there. There's usually someone else there I can wrangle into giving me a hand for this. I'm anxious to get the engine going so I can get her back in the water. Anything else can be done in the slip.
Al, I motored my boat 4 hours to this yard 2 yrs ago to have a bad thru hull replaced with only a wooden plug keeping the water out and the boat afloat. Talk about a nervous ride - had anchor on bow, US Towing package paid up, crew with eye on that plug and hammer in hand. I've had my boat since 2009, and have done all of the work on the A4 myself. I have not done a lot of work in a boat yard tho' and it's a real PITA here. I'm more unproven that the boat is!
Thanks again for the advice!
