Hi all,
I'm stumped & need some help. When I use my bow thruster my Port side dash voltmeter gauge drops all the way down like I have a short/bad ground then comes back up once I stop the thruster. This happens regardless if the motors are running or not & the thruster runs fine. When I put a multi meter on the batteries I see that the thruster is run off of the Starboard side battery bank (the 2 stern side batteries). What should I be looking for? This is a new problem in the last 2 weeks. I don't understand why the Port side voltage would be affected by running something powered by the Starboard side batteries. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
