"I've got a new boat, dual selector switch, it appears that the CO2 detector was hardwired and was constantly draining the batteries. I disconntected this, however after running the boat for 8 hours last weekend when I got back to dock to flush the engine the batteries wouldn't start as there was not enough juice in the batts. Could it be that the batteries need to be fully recharged as I have only jump started the batteries since they were dead or could it be the alternator not working properly? It's a 2004 5.7 penta and I would think that if the alternator were not working properly then the engine would eventually stop running once the batteries wore out? Any ideas would be helpful.
thanks"
