Hi all,
I have a new to me 1982 sea ray Sundancer 260 it's in nice shape everything was working fine last month I have electric going to the shore power. Now suddenly I have no power in the boat except at the 110 outlets nothing else no ignition, no power anywhere. The battery charger has power but its meter is on zero? I currently have a different battery charger hooked up to one of the batteries any thoughts ???
Update, I had a battery that was so dead that initially, my backup charger didn't even detect that I had hooked up a battery I had to put a trickle charge on it just to get a few volts in it once I did that I was able to use my regular charger to charge it overnight. Hooked up the battery and the boat came to life so now I know the battery that went dead but still don't know if the battery is bad or the boat's charger is bad. Once I charged the battery and put it back in the boat the onboard charger started working again and everything seems fine, but there has to be problem somewhere my next step is to take the battery somewhere and have it checked. Can a bad battery make a charger not work?
