Dwight, Congrats; I (actually, I'm pretty sure we all do) know the joy of finally getting in the water, checking things out and lo and behold, they work! Yay!!

Re: Stus-List Alianna's big splash 2015
Based on the advice from this group I left batteries on board over the winter as well. Same results. 5+ year old batteries still charged and ready to go.
