I have a Yamaha jet boat and realized the batteries were nearly during summer prep at home. Stereo turned on but not enough juice to crank the motor over.
As a result I put a charger on each of the batteries overnight.
This morning I disconnected the battery chargers and moved the battery switch from 'off" to "1&2" . As soon as I did that, the thick positive battery cable started to smoke big time. It It was enough to totally melt the red sheath. Majority of the smoke was coming from where the positive cable was connected to the boat's battery on and off switch. I reached back down and moved the battery switch back to off. LOTS of smoke.
Please Help!!!
Thanks ahead of time for your responses,
John
