[QUOTE="CodyPomeroy, post: 263548, member: 7177"] Late last summer I got my first boat. My first mistake was running up river, not knowing any better I stayed in the middle hoping I would avoid any shallow spots. Ha! I ran my boat right up onto a sandbar that was just under the surface. I had to push/row myself off the sand bar. Second, I was told to let the battery run down before charging it so it didn't develop a memory. I let it get too low and got out in the middle of a thankfully, small lake and barely made it back to the ramp. Here's one that's not a big deal, I use battery operated lights for nighttime and last week I turned my stern light on only to watch it slowly fade out. I am slowly learning from my own mishaps, and a lot from this site, how to prepare for the unexpected. [/QUOTE]
