Jim\'s Boomer Battery Box
One of the most frustrating problems with the older (pre-ugly lights) Class III Boomers is the position of the battery and leaking battery acid. I call the old Class IIIs " <font color="blue">hole-in-the-roof Boomers </font>" because the hood has that large open screened area right above the battery (yellow arrow). If the battery leaks acid, you rinse off the hood, or it rains, the battery gets wet. As soon as you start the engine, the acid gets sucked off the battery and goes all over the hydrostatic transmission cooler hoses and into the radiator. The new Boomers have eliminated that problem by removing the screen on the hood.
