It has been hot in Michigan these past few weeks. Most of our time has been spend on short cruises and anchoring to swim. So the batteries (we have 2 of them) have not been charged well. So this past Friday night, we were out with friends and when we were ready to head in (in the dark of course) the boat wouldn't start. Luckily the boat started on battery 2 alone after a few minutes. We went to go run the engine today but it wouldn't crank, click, or anything. The trim control on our Yamaha F150 four stroke motor works but not from the throttle. The accessory power is working okay, but the gauges do not come on. I took the 2nd battery out to test it and found it was dead. So, it charged all day today. When I put it back on the boat, in series with battery 1, it still wouldn't respond. The first battery is on the charger now but my tester says that its not dead. I checked the fuses under the helm and on the motor and the kill switch. Nothing out of the ordinary there. I keep thinking that I am missing something stupid. I was hoping you fine folks could help me. Otherwise its the dealer tomorrow. Thanks for reading about my issue.
