"I have twin Mercruiser 260 st
"I have twin Mercruiser 260 sterndrives. There is a power problem with the port engine. it will run fine and then, bam, just shut down with no power at all to the gauges, starter etc. If I trip the "emergency" button to combine the batteries from the starbord engine, sometimes that will cause the power to come back to the engine and it will start up and run for a while before the whole process is repeated. My yard guy thinks it may be a bad battery cell and is recommending new batteries but this does not sound right to me. Thoughts?"
