What will happen if you hook up a battery charger backwards to a boat battery?

It depends on the battery charger. Some chargers will detect that they're hooked up backwards and do nothing. More than likely though it will dis-charge the battery pretty quickly, and probably damage it.

Can a 2 stroke start with a dead battery?
2 stroke engines are for the most part are used in motorcycles, boat engines, and other small engines. There have been a few 2 stoke engines used in Automobiles but very few and none that I know of at this time. None of the 2 stokes used in these applications even have a battery. All are started manually and no battery is needed. They use a magneto to supply electrical power to the engine.

Can any battery charger charge a marine battery?
Chargers don't care is the battery is used on a boat, a car, or whatever. What is important is that you match the voltage of the battery and the charger. Don't use a 12volt charger on a 24volt battery, etc.

How do you charge a boat battery?
The same way you charge a car battery. The only difference in them is that the marine battery is a deep cycle battery, meaning it is designed to be run completely down without damaging the battery. Ideally you need a charger designed to charge deep cycle batteries but you can charge one with a normal battery charger.
12 volt boat winch and you want to hook it to mains 240volt or is it easier just to run it off a battery?
You can hook up a battery and 240v 12v heavy duty charger system,that is the easiest way to get over that problem. The charger has to deliver enough amperage to cover the load from the winch.RegardsJohn Cas

How do you charge two batteries same time?
Use a special charger, such as an RV or boat charger, that has multiple outputs (best). Connect the two batteries in series, and use a 24V charger (ok, if the two batts are exactly the same). Connect the two batteries in parallel and use a standard 12V charger ( worst choice, one battery tends to hog the current, and they receive unequal charges). See the links for a dual-output charger I Googled.

Car ans boat batteries will both work on either vehicles. A boat battery is just built a little tougher. This is to compensate for the rough banging and bumps of a boat ride. Boat batteries just cost a little more.
