The 10 I bought from OEX Oceanside fits perfectly in my stock Hobie livewell.

If you have a decent volt meter you can test it. Or run your livewell with the new battery for a few hours and then charge it again.

FYI. There is a 6V 12 AMP that comes in the same size casing as the 6V 10AMP.

had dealer call hobie. looks like they only carry one battery and one cover now . probably 10 amp and extra wide cover. is the molding on the battery recepticle of tank same on new ones? and the only difference cover? 10 or 12 should be more than enough for those long nites of sea bass fishing .
