Hi everyone, Lately I've noticed that on the first start of the day, it cranks real slow, but always starts. Last week I replaced the # 2 Battery, as it was tested and the machine said it needed to be replaced. Since I've owned the boat (4 yrs) I have always switched the battery switch to "both". Today I set it on the new # 2 Battery and once again just barely started. This is a new Marine Group 24 825 starting battery, What would you suggest is causing this? When I switched to both it was better after it had been running for an hour. Battery #1 was even worse trying to start. Both batteries are Starting Batteries.
Thanks for your help!
