I think the engine cover that's screwed on is only preventing us from getting to the battery.

Continue course for the island

   After more than an hour of smooth sailing, you arrive outside the breakwater of the island marina.
   There are a few other boats, sailboats and powerboats, sailing around.
   You reef the jib.

   You lower the jib.
   Trying to turn on the engine produces a soft whining and clicking noise.
Go to the guest dock
   You realize you can't sail into a modern marina.  Modern marinas are cramped and require motors to maneuver.
   In the old days, marinas were much more spacious and arranged so you could sail in and out of them.  After all, motors didn't exist back then.

You are just outside the island marina.
It is now 0902h.

Turn on phone.  Send flirty text to date.

[King Zultan]

Keep trying to turn on the engine.

[Ostathel]

consume fuel

   The engine's fuel tank is already full.

Turn on phone.  Send flirty text to date.

   You send the text.

Keep trying to turn on the engine.

   The whining and clicking grows quieter.  Seems like a dead battery.

If it’s a joke please don’t hold it
search for a spare battery on the ship

Look for a screwdriver or a replacement.
If we can't find one, think of another way to get to the battery.

We might have to ask for help on the radio. Maybe someone can come alongside and help us out.

search for a spare battery on the ship

A search reveals several batteries onboard:  the house battery, and a fully-charged dust-buster.

Look for a screwdriver or a replacement.
If we can't find one, think of another way to get to the battery.

We might have to ask for help on the radio. Maybe someone can come alongside and help us out.

You find a screwdriver in a toolbox in the berth.

It is totally possible to call for help on the radio.  Sailors are a friendly sort, and there are plenty of boats milling around.  You know the marine frequencies that they all listen to.

[Naturegirl1999]

are any of the batteries we found comparable with the engine?
