Hi Guys,

I'm sorry but I don't have a scanner (or a printer for that matter) nor do I own a digital camera. I will take some pics and the next time I am at my father's house I will post them.

I had planned on buying an Interstate battery, 12V- 7A but they were $43.70 . The supplier also recycles used batteries and he had a 12V-7A battery by Kobe.
It measures 5 3/4"L x 2 1/5"W x 4"H. This one cost $5.00!!

Needless to say, I took the used Kobe.

If I did not mention earlier, the pump is an Attwood V500 model 4204 rated at 500 gph with a draw of 1.5 Amps @ 13.6 volts. I got it at Canadian tire for $16.99.

Running continuous the battery should last about 5 hours.

: Hi Ian,
: I second the Pics question!! I also missed what you went with for a battery.
