So I arrive at my boat after a week of absence, get the boat all ready to go and check the batteries. Battery 1: dead. Battery 2: dead. I go to start the engine: silence, NOT EVEN A CLICK! If I plugged the boat into the shore power the battery meter read full but the engine would still not turn over and as soon as I unplugged from shore power the meter would drop off to almost dead. If I ran the bilge blower off shore power it ran hard, with, it ran fine along with all of the other electronics. So, with the info I have, can any body specify the problem? Should I be suspicious of the charger over charging or not charging at all (one battery felt hot and its locker had bad hydrogen stink, both batteries are removed from the boat)? Btw nothing (as far as I know) was wrong with the shore power system.
Please help, this is one of the worst problems I've had with my boat.
