Ive got a Ski Brendella, has a Windsor 351 inboard. I ran it at the lake for about an hour stopping it and starting it frequently pulling tubes. It got where it would barley turn over so I figured bad battery and hooked a new jump start box to it same just would barley turn over but would not start. I cleaned battery connections and ground connections to motor still just barley turn with jump box . I noticed the coil was hot to touch but would not think it would have anything doing with motor turning over slow. After sitting about 30 minutes with jump box on it started fine. Started after I got it home check battery voltage was 13 to 14 volts. My Question, does this have to be a battery or connection problem because the boat would turn over just to slow to start like a weak battery. Also was wondering about winterizing this type of boat or a web site Ive looked at some but looks like the water that cools the motor goes into the transmission also. I need a owners manual on a 1992 ski brendella and a good repair book but can't find either on the webl Thanks
