Recently on my live-aboard 1981 28 Sabre with 13HP Volvo Penta, when I try to crank it up all I get is a fraction of a second of starter action then a dead electrical.. when releasing the key, I have power, but substantially weaker until charger kicks in... I feel that when charger isn't charging I may be getting a discharge, but I can't fathom where. Lights often dim when bilge pump comes on... There seems to be a lot of places to look, so can anyone point me in the most likely direction, or has anyone actually experienced this and solved it..?
