[C320-list] Battery Jump Starter

[jim brown]

Thanks. I just hadn't talked to anyone who actually used them. I know they were there because, until recently, the Yanmars could be hand cranked using the levers. My engine still has the crank socket but it's covered by a plate now. In the 60's I had a 58 MGA that I could hand crank through a access hole in the front bumper (no money for two new 6 volts)-not easy to do under full compression.

Hi Jim

I have used the levers when my starter battery was near dead, t works very 
well when you have a flat battery. One person on the key and one person at 
the levers put all the levers back crank the engine as soon as the engine is 
cranking shift the levers quickly. That's the way I started my engine ( 
Yanmar 3 GM 30 F).

Safe Sailing
