Kind of stumped. Several questions.
1) The Accessory/Starboard Battery is dead, charges up when plugged into the dockside power by the charger. When running for several hours, the depth finder, which shows volts, shows it dropping off all day. Starts at 12v and DF finally blinks out at 8v. This battery does not appear to being charged when the motors are running. The other 2 batteries are running a voltage or around 14V when motors are running. Accessory does not appear to be connected (+)to the other two batteries which are connected in parallel and each battery connected to one of the motors. So, is this battery supposed to last without being charged all day or am I missing something? In the schematic in the manual, the grounds are all wired together (all 3 batteries) but the accessory/starboard battery, RED + is not wired to the other two.
2) Where do the windlass and macerating pump get their power from. Seems to be connected to the accessory battery?
Thanks for any help. It has been a challenging year trying to get this boat right, sat on a lift for 13 years with minimal use.
