I have twin Mercruiser 6.2 ECT (350 HP) Seacore Bravo 3 (2016) S/N's 2A4585XX SmartCraft & VesselView4
The Starboard engine has been complaining about 'low voltage' when I turn the ignition key to 'on' and let the SmartCraft stuff boot up. I get the warning as the system 'checks' everything (which I then clear). The engines both start easily and run as they should.
I have checked the batteries for each engine with my multi-meter and they are both at 12.8 - 12.9 volts. I have also checked the engine voltages on the VesselView display and they both show the same, yet only the starboard engine is complaining. The only difference I am seeing is that the multi-meter is showing the batteries at 12.8-12.90 volts, while the VesselView shows the engines both at 12.2 volts. I have probed the connections at the engines with the multi-meter, and they were the same as the batteries
I am not sure what to check next ???
Not sure what the threshold for 'low voltage is' or how I should proceed. It is getting really annoying seeing these warnings and beeps every time I start up.
TIA for any guidance.
