I have a 2001 280 sundancer, wondering if my batter charger is bad, i'm on shore power all the time, went down today to go for a ride and the starboard engine wouldn't start. was able to jump it off of the other engine, after going for about an hour ride the system was charged back up and the engine would start with no issues. if the charger was working i would think the battery would have been charged, if the battery was bad then why did it charge up from the alternator while we were driving around the lake. i have also noticed the batteries boiling out water sometimes when they are charging. How do i test the system to see where the issue may be? and if its boiling out water does that mean the charger is not shutting off when it should? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
