[QUOTE="Allen, post: 345916, member: 389"] First of all, two good batteries being used in a 12 volt setup should run that engine for a few hours. Going out on a bit of a limb here, but I'd be checking not only the charging system on the boat since something sure seems to be fried, but I would also check out the onboard charger. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen a charger kill a battery. Last time something like this happened to me it was the alternator that went bad on my old Ford pickup while out fishing Alkaline. Ended up limping into Tappen where I got a quick charge into the battery and then raced back to Bis. Lights were getting pretty dim again by the time I got home.

You need someone with the tools and skills to test their way through the charging system to figure out where the problem lies. [/QUOTE]
